"... In PAGE 32: ... Department of general surgery In general surgery, the surgeons are internally divided up into teams according to specialty. Table1 shows se an example of how the surgeons are grouped into surgeon teams and how diagnosis/patients can be spread among these. Patient 1 represents diagnosis which can be operated on by all surgeon teams included all surgeons, so-called standard operation.... In PAGE 32: ... Finally, patient 6 has a diagnosis that only can be treated by surgeon 6 and 9, but in contrast to the case of patient 5, the surgeons are working in different teams. Table1 Surgeon team and patient diagnosis. Currently, each surgeon team has a fixed number of operating rooms per week at its disposal.... In PAGE 33: ... The internal divisions of surgeon teams are employed in the same way as in the general surgery. Also principles of how the division of surgeons are related to different diagnosis, illustrated in Table1 , are utilized in cardiothoracic surgery as well. Central to the cardiothoracic surgery is the ICU (Intensive Care Units) that must have resources of beds and staff to handle the need of post operative care, i....

In weekends there are no further back-ups in case of an extreme patient demand and that is partly the motivation to the current allocation of extra emergency resources in weekends but keeping in mind that orthopaedic cases often can wait 24 hours before surgery without any medical complications, this precaution seems quite generous. After ten separate simulation runs using the base scenario, one simulation run representing 364 days (one year), the difference in utilisation of the emergency resources between week-days and week-ends appears significant and is presented in Table1 . Not very surprisingly, the precautions taken in weekends result in low resource utilisation in weekends and high utilisation in weekdays as the emergency resources ... In PAGE 92: ...76 Table1 .

The complete set of derived attributes, their descriptions, and their associated metrics and units of measurement are listed in Table1 , with grouping from top to bottom being by software, resource utilisation and performance respectively.
