Surgical scheduling software is computer software related to scheduling of tasks for a sequence of surgical cases in one surgery theatre and with one surgery staff using an operational model, a computer and a network. Another vital part of the surgery scheduling process is the communication between the Facility and the Vendor. Applications may cover platforms that include the traditional (legacy) software-based system of operations or networked server systems. Other approaches are services as with cloud computing includes software as a service (SaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) systems. == Historical procedures and limitations of surgery scheduling == The integration of modern communications into the healthcare world has been strongly retarded by the reluctance of the surgeons to organise their work as a service in a production site. However all requirements to be fulfilled for proper performing and high efficiency recommend such approach. Healthcare IT was focused solely on using and upgrading technology dedicated to research, treatment, and diagnostics.〔Stead, William W. and Lin, Herbert S. ("The health care organizations visited demonstrated both deep and sustained organizational and financial commitment to using information technology to improve health care." ), Computational Technology for Effective Health Care.

("Whereas the practices of 20th century health care were based largely on paper, there is now a broad consensus that realizing an improved 21st century vision of health care will require intensive use of information technology to acquire, manage, analyze, and disseminate health care information and knowledge." ), Computational Technology for Effective Health Care.

Retrieved on 2/8/10〕 As long as schedulers depended on phones and fax machines to send and receive confirmations, vital time was often spent waiting for information. Unreliable systems and confirmation methods also led to cancelled surgeries and lost revenue.〔Stead, William W. and Lin, Herbert S. ("Many studies have identified deficiencies in the current health care system, including inadequate care, superfluous or incorrect care, immense inefficiencies and hence high costs, and inequities in access to care." ), Computational Technology for Effective Health Care. The National Academies Press 2009. p 1. Retrieved on 2/8/10〕 Administrative tasks, which had long since been automated in other industries,〔Bates, David W.(“Health care organizations currently invest less in IT than in any other information-intensive industry, and not surprisingly current systems are relatively primitive, compared with (complexer meshed) industries such as banking or aviation." ), The Quality Case for Information Technology in Healthcare, BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making 2:7, 2002, Retrieved on 2/8/10〕 did not utilize technology to the fullest. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Surgical Scheduling Software」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
