Abstract


Effective time and resource management is crucial not only in the operating room but also in healthcare supply chains. Healthcare supply chains involve the movement of medical supplies, equipment, and medications from manufacturers to healthcare providers. Effective management is crucial to ensuring that patients receive the care they need promptly. In the operating room, it is essential to have an information process in place to effectively manage time and resources during the current surgical procedure. This paper focuses on developing a predictive model for the operating time of flexible ureteroscopy for kidney stones. The model can forecast surgical and preoperative time based on patient characteristics and surgeon experience. The model can assist in planning ureteroscopy procedures and preventing surgical complications, which is crucial not only for the operating room but also for healthcare supply chains. The paper presents a study that compares different feature selection methods and regression techniques. The study found that sequential backward selection combined with the extra tree regressor was the most effective approach.
