Emergencies in planning and planning emergencies : Research to the operating room planning for emergency patients at UMC Utrecht

UMC Utrecht has a large operating room complex, where annually over 15,000 surgeries are performed. The surgical specialties division and Utrecht Cancer Center are the main users of the operating room complex. With the current available time and planning method for emergencies, the operating room cannot manage to operate all emergencies within their norm. UMC Utrecht aims to improve this. Therefore this project searches for the best method to consider emergency surgeries in the planning of elective surgery programs of DHS and Cancer Center?
