5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this project was to determine how moving outpatient surgeries from the ( University of Michigan Hospitals (UMH) operating rooms to an Ambulatory Care Surgical Center (ACSC) will affect the utilization of the UN fh operating room. This study centers around a computer simulation that models the UMH scheduling practices and calculates operating room utilization by service and by day. This simulation was constnicted for the present OR utilization analysis and the OR utilization under two scenarios involving the removal of some outpatient services. A simulation model was also written to determine the utilization of the ACSC under these two service removal scenarios. Both four room and six room capacities where modeled for the ACSC. The results of the simulation show that the present utilization of the UN IHOR including all services is 84.83%. Under scenario 1, the total utilization drops to 80.18% and drops again to 77.99% using scenario 2. The total utilization of the ACSC under scenario 1 is 95.81% for four operating rooms and % for six operating rooms. For scenario 2, the total utilization for four operating rooms is 10 and for six operating rooms, the utilization is 99.94%. A complete presentation of all the service utilization times per day for all scenarios (LTIVLHOR and ACSC) is provided in the Appendix. With a desired service utilization of 75.00% for the UMH, it is our conclusion that both scenarios would maintain desired utilization levels for the UMHOR while scenario 2 would clearly utilize the ACSC better than scenario 1. The simulation models should be used involving other service removal scenarios to determine the optimal utilization times for the TJMHOR and the ACSC. A complete guide to the simulation programs used in this study is provided in the User Manual supplement. Questions regarding model guidelines and assumptions, the simulation language used for the models, and logic behind the simulation models are addressed in the manual. The project team would like to recognize Dr. Tim Rutter, Liz Othman R.N., Scott Lovelace, Christopher Parin, and Alan Kalton for their invaluable help on this project.

6 INTRODUCTION n I. Background This project is a continuation of an ongoing study of the utilization of the UMH operating rooms. Previous studies conducted by University of Michigan Industrial and Operations Engineering students have focused on service surgery times, service turnaround times, and overall utilization of the operating rooms. The purpose of our project was to construct a simulation model that would closely model the UMF{ operating rooms and capture the utilization of each surgery service per day (Monday - Friday). After determining utilization by service and by day, we modified the model to determine how the UMII utilization is affected after removing certain outpatient services. In addition, a model was constructed to determine the utilization of the ACSC (with four and six operating rooms), based on the outpatient surgeries removed. Actual OR time of Advanced Scheduled Cases + Turnover Time Block Time Utilization = Block Assigned Time for Advanced Scheduled Cases The block time utilization as defined by the University of Michigan Hospital Operating Rooms Scheduling Department is: Block Time Utilization = Actual OR time of Advanced Scheduled Cases + Turnover Time Block Assigned Time for Advanced Scheduled Cases The services examined for this project and their abbreviations are as follows: 1. CARDIAC- Cardiac Surgery 2. GYN- Gynecology 3. LITHO- Lithotripter 4. MEDSPORT- Sports Medicine 5. NEURO- Neurosurgery 6. OPTH- Opthamology 7. ORAL- Oral Surgery 8. ORTHO- Orthopedics 9. OThER- Other Non-Specified Surgeries 10. OTO- Otolaryngology 11. PLASTICS- Plastic Surgery 12. SEC- Endocrine Critical Care 13. SGI- Gastroenterology 14. SON- Oncology 15. STX- Transplant 2

7 16. SVA- Vascular Surgery 17. TBE- Traumal Burn 18. THORACIC- Thoracic Surgery 19. UROLOGY- Urology Because some of the service data records were not dedicated to rooms, OPTH and OTHER were grouped into one room which was designated ROOMS for the simulation models. The types of surgeries used in our study are Inpatient, Admission Day Procedure (ADP), and Outpatient Surgeries. Note that the study uses the term Inpatient to refer to both Inpatient and ADP surgeries. The two procedures were considered the same in our data analysis. There are currently twenty-two operating rooms in the UMH. The number of rooms assigned to services varies by day. For example, cardiac is allocated three rooms on Monday and one room on Wednesday.

8 APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY C I. Data Collection It was decided by Dr. Rutter that the data from the period of July December 1992 would be analyzed and used in the simulation model to determine operating room utilization by service and day of the week. The data was downloaded from the UMH SurgiServer database onto an IBM-DOS system. It was formatted into the DOS version of the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet program where it was parsed and prepared for data manipulation. The given data files contained the following information: Date of Surgery Day of Surgery Surgery Type Case Number Working Physician Start Time and Finish Time Total Surgery Time Surgery Type The master data file was divided into separate files for each service to help facilitate easier manipulation. Once the extracted file for each service was obtained, the data was sorted by surgery type (inpatient or outpatient). A distribution of surgery times for inpatient and outpatient cases for each service was constructed, using percentiles in increments of 10 ( i.e. 0,10,20 100). The arrival rates of cases were calculated for each day by the following equation: Total Number of Cases for each Day of Week ( 6 mo. period) (26 weeks)( 8 hours)( 60 minutes) The following guidelines and assumptions were used regarding service surgery times: Service surgery times were calculated for inpatient and outpatient cases separately. All surgery times from the data file were considered valid and used in distribution calculations. Data for weekend and emergent cases were not considered for this study, since they do not reflect the normal working schedule. The turnover time distributions were constructed in the same manner as service time distributions. The turnover times were calculated in a previous study, using SurgiServer 4

9 C data from December, March, The following assumptions were made regarding the service turnover times: Turnover times used were based on service, with no distinction between inpatient and outpatient cases If a computed turnover time was negative, it was considered a data entry error and excluded. Turnover times over 90 minutes were considered outliers, as determined by Dr. Rutter, and not used for analysis. Data used for the ACSC model was based on the surgeries removed from the UMH model. II. Simulation Simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time. This imitation can be modeled through computer programs, which offer distinct advantages over other modeling techniques. Some of these advantages are: Simulation can combine retrospective data with hypothetical situations to produce realistic models. C; Once a model is built, it can be easily modified to reflect changes in procedure. By modifying various inputs, insight may be obtained into which variables are most significant and how variables interact. Simulation can be used to experiment with new designs or policies prior to implementation, in order to prepare for what may happen. The simulation language used for this project was GPSS/H version 2.0. It was run on a SUN SPARCstationl+ computer system. The model simulates the operating room scheduling practice for one year. The assumptions and guidelines incorporated into the model to best represent the true utilization of the operating rooms are giving in the User ManuaL The ACSC model incorporates the following guidelines and assumptions for the simulation model: 1) The model simulates scheduled surgeries from 7:30 AM - 5:30 PM, Monday through Friday. 5

10 2) The simulation was modeled using both four and six operating rooms to see how the number of rooms affected utilization. 3) The operating rooms are not dedicated to certain services. 4) At Dr. Rutter s request, cases were removed from the UIVIEI and placed in the ACSC under two different scenarios, which are as follows: Scenario 1: Remove the following services: I. ORTHO surgeries performed by Dr. Louis) II. ( Outpatient only) ifi. PLASTICS (Outpatient only) IV. OTO (Outpatient only) V. GYNECOLOGY ( Outpatient only) (Hand MEDSPORT Scenario 2: In addition to scenario 1, remove the following services: I. II. III. MEDSPORT (Inpatient) UROLOGY (in SON ( Outpatient only) LITHO) (Outpatient only) The UMHOR was modeled with both these scenarios removed and these models are referred to as Scenario 1 and Scenario 2 in the Results and Appendix sections. of III. Strengths and Limitations of the Simulation Model Strengths 1) The model allows for randomness and variability for the service and turnover times. With the high variance in service surgery times, using a mean time to sample from would not accurately reflect the operating room scheduling practice. However, using actual distributions from retrospective data more accurately reflects reality. 2) Resembles actual practice, since service case type, service times, and turnaround times are assigned based on proportions from retrospective data. 3) Can be easily modified to simulate different scheduling scenarios. Limitations 1) There was only one turnover time given for OPTH during the entire four month period. Because one data point would not be representative of the service s turnover time, a 6

11 standard time of 30 minutes, as defined by an earlier study on turnover times, was assigned to OPTH. This reduced the accuracy, or real-life aspect of the model. 2) In practice, same surgeon, same type cases are sequentially scheduled as much as possible to minimize turnover time. In the model, however, there is no consideration of equipment constraints, staff constraints, or case type. Therefore, a case is scheduled to any room that is dedicated to the cases particular service. C 7
