Optimization of Transports in Hospitals

Opti-Trans

     
The efficient organization of transports is one of the core problems in hospital logistics. The primary goal of any transport service is to take patients to and from their appointments, and to carry materials, supplies and equipment to their destinations on time. The provision of these services is likely to have a large impact upon the efficiency of other departments throughout the hospital that depend on these services. For example, a delay in delivering a patient to an operating room highly impacts surgery plans.

Opti-Trans� is a software application for real-time scheduling, monitoring and tracking in-house hospital transports of patients and materials/supplies. It was developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics (ITWM) in Germany together with the software companies SIEDA GmbH (Germany) and COMEXAR Engineering AG (Switzerland).
