⚫ Beijing Tongren Hospital was founded in 1886 with a history of 132 years. Originally established
by an American Methodist church specializing in ophthalmology, it gradually developed into a
comprehensive hospital with special features, and its ophthalmology department was among the top
3 nationwide.
⚫ There are three sub-districts in the hospital, with a daily average of 10,000 outpatient visits. The
outpatient volume of ophthalmology patients accounts for about 40% of the total outpatient visits,
and the number of patients from other provinces account for 60%-70% of the total number.

Physician Scheduling
There are 45 sub-departments in the hospital’s ophthalmology clinics and approximately 200
doctors.
Each doctor has their own rotation requirements, and a monthly schedule is required.

Summary of Physician Scheduling
Rotation record is
confusing and non-

Doctors’ rotation wishes
are satisfied with low-rate;
Scheduling performance is
difficult to evaluate.
Time consuming, which
takes upwards of 1 day;
Not easy to modify the
schedule.
Rotation data records are clear
with strict rules.
Improved satisfaction on
doctors’ rotation wishes;
Clear evaluation indicators.

New Area Layout Planning
Challenges of Layout planning of the Ophthalmology Department
• Vision Check is an inspection before diagnosis, which is a congestion point of the outpatient process.
• Ophthalmology patients need to do various inspections, go there and back during the outpatient process, which
increases the travel distance.
Formulate MIP model to minimize
the travel distance of patients
Simplify the model based on the
ophthalmology outpatient process
Adjust the model according to the
analysis of patient flow
Solving procedure Problem size: 38^4 (2.09 million) decision variables and
constraints, using Cplex Studio to solve will take a long time.
The model can be solved now and plan 1 is obtained.
Plan 2 is obtained and the performance is better than plan 1.

2/3 of the patients finish the total process in 2.5 hours.
The satisfaction rate is improved to 82.5 points.
The waiting time for inspection is reduced by 15%;
The total process time is reduced by 7%;
The satisfaction rate is improved by 10%.
82% of the patients finish the inspection process in 30 minutes.

• Vinny is a Member of IISE and the Society for Health Systems.
• The State of Utah asked Goldratt to Project Manage the Covid Response effort. The Goldratt team is playing a role in putting together the strategy and implementing it. We are mainly focused on Data Analytics and Insights, Identifying, Testing and Tracing efforts in regards to Covid.
• In simpler terms, everyone from the state and Dept of Health still have their day jobs on top of this, so our main job is helping coordinate the efforts.
