This seems to me like an instinctually bad idea, although I wouldn’t be able to tell you why.
Aside from that, the first thing that comes to mind would be to create an incentive for doing surgeries quickly—the surgeon who’s average waiting time is lowest gets a bonus—but that would have very bad, not good, horrible side effects.
Create specialised sub-professions without the comprehensive training costs?
This has, I think, the highest potential. One would need to fight against entrenched lobbies and status quo bias, but in theory it would help a lot.
Alternatively, a possibility could be creating a specialized administrative role in hospitals whose sole purpose is to organize doctor’s time...but I would be surprised if it didn’t already exist.

Probably concerns about quality.
