Scotland has the most stringent waiting time target for A&Es in the UK.
> Clearly, a more stringent waiting time target has a significant impact on the maximum utilization rate of the operating room.
To quantify the effect of a more stringent waiting time target for elective patients, we used computer simulation.
The simulation confirmed that a more stringent waiting time target has a significant impact on the maximum utilization rate of the operating room.
Formula (1) shows how we adapted the maximum allowed utilization rate predicted by regression analysis to incorporate the impact of a more stringent waiting time target.
Therefore, we adapted the utilization rate predicted by regression analysis for the effect of a more stringent waiting time target for elective patients.
In the interactive tool, we used computer simulation [ 29] to quantify the effect of a more stringent waiting time target for elective patients on the maximum allowed utilization rate of the operating room.
