A Decision Support System for the Surgical Care during the Epidemic of Covid-19

Abstract

Faced with the Covid epidemic, the optimization of human resources and materials is necessary to be able to treat as many victims as possible and to save them so as much as possible. Schedules are usually faced with a situation where new measures related to Covid are considered. This leads to higher risks and complications, especially in the preoperative service. Adapt the organization’s surgical department for preserving their capacity and taking care of Covid and not Covid patients. To the best of our knowledge, the existing studies in the literature have treated the Covid scheduling task only on a service of the surgical process, mostly the preoperative service. In this study, we aim to design the keys of a new organization to preserve hospitalization capacities and ensure continuity of care, including all services of the surgery.
