Project Overview:

The Surgery Schedule Manager is a hospital-focused web application designed to digitally organize, manage, and optimize surgical operations scheduling. It helps hospital staff coordinate surgeries efficiently by tracking operation rooms (OR), surgeon availability, patient preparation, and required medical resources.

This system eliminates manual errors, avoids schedule clashes, ensures the timely execution of surgeries, and enhances overall hospital workflow efficiency.

Technologies Used:

• Frontend: HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript

• Backend: PHP / Java / Node.js

• Database: MySQL / PostgreSQL / MongoDB

• Optional Integrations: SMS/Email APIs, Calendar APIs

Key Features:

1.  Surgery Request & Approval Workflow

• Doctors or department heads can raise a surgery request with details (patient, surgery type, priority, estimated duration)

• Admin or surgery coordinator reviews and approves/rejects requests

• Priority-based auto-sorting (e.g., emergency vs elective)

2.  Operation Theater (OT) Scheduling

• Schedule surgeries by selecting available operation rooms, dates, and time slots

• Real-time visibility of OT availability

• Prevents double-booking or time clashes

• Color-coded surgery types or departments on calendar view

3.  Surgeon and Staff Allocation

• Assign surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses based on availability and specialization

• Staff get notified of assigned cases via dashboard or email/SMS

4.  Patient Preparation & Pre-Op Tracking

• Pre-op checklist management: test reports, consent forms, anesthesia clearance

• Track patient status: “Scheduled,” “Pre-op Ready,” “In OR,” “Post-op”

5.  Surgery Calendar Dashboard

• Admin panel to view all scheduled surgeries in day/week/month calendar format

• Filters: department-wise, doctor-wise, room-wise

• Alerts for overlapping or unassigned schedules

6.  Post-Surgery Records

• Store outcome reports, surgeon notes, operation duration

• Upload post-op prescriptions and recovery instructions

• Patient feedback and complications (if any)

7.  Notifications & Reminders

• Auto-notify patients and staff about surgery timing

• Reminders for pending documents, tests, or prep

• Alert doctors of last-minute changes

8.  Reporting & Analytics

• Daily/weekly/monthly surgery stats

• Delays, cancellations, reschedules

• OT utilization efficiency

• Downloadable reports for audits

9.  Role-Based Access

• Admin: Full control

• Surgeons: View assigned cases

• Nurses: View prep checklists and patient status

• Receptionist: Patient coordination

• Patient Portal: View surgery date, instructions, documents
