Prioritization of Oncological Patients in Surgical Scheduling through MCDM Methods: A Framework Proposal for Systematic Literature Review

This study delves into MCDM methods for scheduling oncological surgeries, uncovering limited use but significant potential to enhance patient outcomes and healthcare resource efficiency. Employing a SLR, it identifies challenges in resource constraints and ethical patient selection, while highlighting opportunities for customizing prioritization in diverse healthcare settings. Advocating patient-centered methods and interdisciplinary cooperation, the findings emphasize MCDM's promising role in advancing research on surgical scheduling prioritization, aiming for optimal patient care and resource allocation.
