Simulation of patient flow and optimization of bed allocation for a Singapore public hospital

Simulation of patient flow and optimization of bed allocation for a Singapore public hospital

To help hospital managers better understand bed demand in Department of Surgery(DOS) and make bed management decisions, a Discrete Event Simulation(DES) model to simulate patient flow through wards in DOS is constructed based on a careful study of historical data on patient arrival pattern, patient...
