A Stochastic Model for Occupancy-Related Random Variables in General-Acute Hospitals
综合急性病医院床位占用相关变量的随机模型
A stochastic model for the behavior of the daily census in general-acute hospitals is presented. For any mix of elective and emergency patient day demand this model permits the computation of a complete set of measures of operating efficiency including expected overfill rate, percentage occupancy, waiting time for admission, waiting list length, and loss of emergency patients. This model extends previously developed models in important ways such as including the measurement…
