Abstract: In this paper, a bi- objective Operating Theater scheduling is proposed. The problem is subject to order and assignment constraints. The first objective is the minimization of the operating theater opening total time also called makespan in manufacturing systems while the second is to maximize constraints satisfaction. The scheduling problem is considered as a two-stage hybrid flow shop with blocking. Several metaheuristics are compared: the firefly algorithm, bats algorithm, particles swarm optimization and local search. In addition to the care specific qualitative and quantitative parameters, the average deviation from the lower bound is used in order to confirm the effectiveness of the methods. The implementation is done on the operating theater of the paediatric hospital of Oran when it is properly and improperly sized.

Authors:Kumi; Richard, Reychav, Iris, Azuri, Joseph, Sabherwal, Rajiv Pages: 1 - 12 Abstract: The purpose of the study is to investigate patient-physician interactions during a clinical encounter to ascertain the impact of tablet computing on physician satisfaction during a clinical encounter. This study was conducted at a primary care clinic, and the physicians who participated could use a tablet during their clinical encounters. The authors compared satisfaction between physicians who used the tablet during a clinical encounter and those who did not using data from 122 clinical encounters involving 82 patients. The results indicate that physicians who used the tablet during clinical encounters are more satisfied than those who did not. Additionally, there was a meaning difference in satisfaction between physicians who used the tablet to educate patients and share information than those who did not. HITs have potential benefits, but they also come with risks. To effectively manage the risks and benefits of HITs, healthcare providers should be deliberate and strategic in the implementation of HITs.

Authors:Dickey; Alissa M., Wasko, Molly McLure Pages: 1 - 21 Abstract: Telemedicine's growth during the COVID-19 pandemic exposed digital and health disparities in U.S. communities. Public health advocates suggest disparities in healthcare access may be mitigated through free or low-cost broadband. However, prior research shows that many factors influence patient adoption of information technologies; therefore, increasing access to broadband alone is insufficient. This paper advances a patient-centered model of telemedicine (TM) adoption supported by qualitative interview data. The model illustrates that patient adoption of TM is driven by a complex sociotechnical system comprised of technology factors, structural factors underlying the provider's provision of TM, and individual patient factors. Findings highlight the importance of the physical place of the TM visit, the need for experienced TM healthcare workers and technology support for patients, the impact of provider-mandated technology on task-technology fit (TTF), and the strength of the patient-provider relationship. These factors affect patient perceptions of TTF and ultimately TM adoption.
