DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/SFUOR/2/">Im
 proving Radiotherapy Treatment Logistics</a>\nby Nadia Lahrichi (Polytechn
 ique Montreal) as part of PIMS-CORDS SFU Operations Research Seminar\n\nLe
 cture held in ASB 10908.\n\nAbstract\nThe main cancer treatments are surge
 ry\, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. The complexity of the logistical 
 process of scheduling treatment appointments stems from the fact that it i
 nvolves extremely costly resources\, sometimes synchronously. Several due 
 dates (i.e.\, appointments already scheduled\, maximum wait times) and une
 xpected events such as the arrival of patients requiring urgent palliative
  care add to the difficulty. This talk will investigate how can simulation
  and optimization models help improve the efficiency of cancer treatment c
 enters and share experiences on patient booking\, physician scheduling\, a
 nd capacity assessment. All projects are conducted in close partnership wi
 th a hospital and rely on real data.\n
