Coronary flow reserve is impaired in patients with slow coronary flow
Atherosclerosis, 2007Slow coronary flow (SCF) in a normal coronary angiogram is a well-recognized clinical entity, but its etiopathogenesis remains unclear. However, previous studies have suggested that microvascular abnormalities and endothelial dysfunction responsible for SCF.

Perfecting Patient Flow in the Surgical Setting
AORN Journal, 2012AbstractReduced surgical efficiency and productivity, delayed patient discharges, and prolonged use of hospital resources are the results of an OR that is unable to move patients to the postanesthesia care unit or other patient units. A primary reason for perioperative patient flow delay is the lack of hospital beds to accommodate surgical patients ...

Evaluation Review, 1980
A computer program was written which modeled the stages through which involuntarily admitted psychiatric patients passed following commitment. Using empirically derived base rates the program was run to determine the impact on a psychiatric ward of (a) different proportions of voluntary and involuntary admissions to the ward and (b) different rates of ...

Improving patient flow in an obstetric unit
Health Care Management Science, 2011Hospitals have become increasingly interested in maximizing patient throughput and bed utilization in all units to improve efficiency. To study tradeoffs in blocking and system efficiency, a simulation model using a path-based approach is developed for an obstetric unit.

Modelling Patient Flow in a Radiotherapy Department
OR Insight, 2007This paper reports the development of a simulation model of the radiotherapy department of Walsgrave Hospital and shows the results of experiments conducted using the model. In the radiotherapy department a key target is the number of days from the time that the consultant refers the patient to the department to the date that the patient receives their

Geriatric-patient flow-rate modelling
Mathematical Medicine and Biology, 1996We consider the application of a three-compartment mathematical model using difference equations in discrete time to model the flow of patients through departments of geriatric medicine. It has been shown empirically that the time spent in hospital since admission may be described by a two-term mixed-exponential distribution.

Patient flow in the preoperative assessment clinic
European Journal of Anaesthesiology, 2008Previous research has shown that a preoperative assessment clinic enhances hospital cost-efficiency. However, the differences in organization of the patient flow have not been analysed. In this descriptive study, we evaluated the consequences of the organization of the patient flow of a preoperative assessment clinic on its performance, by analysing ...

Patient flow scorecards capture complexity in the patient flow process.
ED management : the monthly update on emergency department management, 2014To get a larger, more holistic view of the patient flow process, a multidisciplinary improvement team at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) developed a five-domain patient flow scorecard. Each domain has several weighted sub-metrics that add up to 20 points, so the maximum number of points in the composite score is 100. Improvement team leaders
