Abstract
We observed the stay time of patients and staff in Gunma University Heavy Ion Medical Center. The stay time of patients with the prostatic cancer and the facing time with radiotherapy technicians in treatment rooms were significantly reduced as times goes by. This decreasing in time has an implication in scheduling algorithm development: for patients. RFID technology can be a potential method to track both staff and patients and thereby to assess the resource utilization efficiency.
