Patient flow for the management of ostomy patients
Minerva Chirurgica, 2020Subjects undergoing ostomy are increasing and share a reduced quality of life. The patient flow (PF) is the pathway of a patient from hospital admission to discharge and should provide care appropriateness to the patient himself. In the recent literature no paper exists regarding the PF of the patient undergoing (intestinal or urinary) ostomy, which is

Simulating hospital patient flows
Journal of the Royal Society for the Promotion of Health, 1998This case study development has benefited by the use of clear on-screen logic which has facilitated useful discussions between the analyst and end-users. The screen displays enable a realistic depiction of a system to be developed. A simple first model was gradually made more realistic in a step-by-step process involving both analyst and end-users. The

We describe the development of a method to distil routinely collected clinical data into patient flow information to aid hospital bed management. Using data from state-wide emergency department and inpatient clinical information systems, a user-friendly interface was developed to visualise patient flow conditions for a particular hospital.

Many intensive care units (ICUs) face overcrowding. One response to this overcrowding is to bump ICU patients to other departments of the hopsital to make room for new patient arrivals. Such bumping clearly has the potential to reduce quality care. In this paper we develop a stochastic model of a single ICU with patient bumping.

In Chap.5, we discussed UML state diagrams as a means of describing the process of surgical care. This type of diagram is based on the Statecharts visual formalism developed by computer scientist David Harel. In this chapter, we first review the most important concepts of the formalism.

Patient flow in the emergency department: The chest pain patient
The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1991Prompt treatment of the chest pain patient in the emergency department (ED) is crucial. To ensure prompt treatment, identification of factors that delay flow of these patients through the department is essential. To identify factors that delay patient flow through the ED, the authors conducted a prospective study of all chest pain patients, using a ...

Are Patients Patient? The Role of Time to Appointment in Patient Flow
Production and Operations Management, 2015The current state of outpatient healthcare delivery is characterized by capacity shortages and long waits for appointments, yet a substantial fraction of valuable doctors’ capacity is wasted due to no‐shows. In this study, we examine the effect of wait to appointment on patient flow, specifically on a patient's decision to schedule an appointment and ...
