- Abstract
- (en) Nowadays, hospitals undergo massive changes. Hospital managers have to optimize their production by meeting the customers' demands. It is translated into a rational use of resources (human, financial and material resources) and the maximization of the customers' satisfaction, who contributes to the enterprise's durability. In our researches, we are more particularly interested in the operating theatre management, which is the actual matter of great concern to hospitals. Planning operations is really difficult to get. One of the difficulties encountered is the estimation of the duration of the operation. In our opinion, it is really necessary to link these duration with the operated patient's characteristics. In this paper, we propose a method allowing the adjustment of the temporal information, and more precisely about the duration of operation, according to the patient's profile. To reach this goal, we used methods from data mining and, to be more precise, the rough set theory.
