Development and clinical application of an Intelligent Operating Room Scheduling System.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: To address inefficiencies of traditional operating room scheduling, including excessive time, low subspecialty matching accuracy, and inequitable performance compensation, we developed an Intelligent Operating Room Scheduling System (IORSS) based on the hospital information system (HIS) and evaluated its clinical effects. Methods: System requirements were identified via literature review, interviews, and expert panels. Using agile development, we built an HIS-based IORSS with three modules: rapid room assignment, nurse subspecialty matching, and automated attendance management. A quasi-experimental pre-/post-implementation study compared control (Jan-Jun 2025, manual scheduling) and experimental (Jul-Dec 2025, IORSS-assisted) groups. Outcomes were scheduling time, matching accuracy, and satisfaction with performance distribution fairness. Results: Scheduling time decreased from 7.0 ± 1.2 to 2.0 ± 0.5 h ( Conclusion: The HIS-based IORSS significantly reduces scheduling time, improves nurse-to-surgical demand matching, and enhances satisfaction with performance distribution fairness. It effectively boosts OR resource utilization and is ready for broader adoption.
