Download or read book Patient Flow written by Randolph Hall and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-11 with total page 547 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is dedicated to improving healthcare through reducing delays experienced by patients. With an interdisciplinary approach, this new edition, divided into five sections, begins by examining healthcare as an integrated system. Chapter 1 provides a hierarchical model of healthcare, rising from departments, to centers, regions and the “macro system.” A new chapter demonstrates how to use simulation to assess the interaction of system components to achieve performance goals, and Chapter 3 provides hands-on methods for developing process models to identify and remove bottlenecks, and for developing facility plans. Section 2 addresses crowding and the consequences of delay. Two new chapters (4 and 5) focus on delays in emergency departments, and Chapter 6 then examines medical outcomes that result from waits for surgeries. Section 3 concentrates on management of demand. Chapter 7 presents breakthrough strategies that use real-time monitoring systems for continuous improvement. Chapter 8 looks at the patient appointment system, particularly through the approach of advanced access. Chapter 9 concentrates on managing waiting lists for surgeries, and Chapter 10 examines triage outside of emergency departments, with a focus on allied health programs Section 4 offers analytical tools and models to support analysis of patient flows. Chapter 11 offers techniques for scheduling staff to match patterns in patient demand. Chapter 12 surveys the literature on simulation modeling, which is widely used for both healthcare design and process improvement. Chapter 13 is new and demonstrates the use of process mapping to represent a complex regional trauma system. Chapter 14 provides methods for forecasting demand for healthcare on a region-wide basis. Chapter 15 presents queueing theory as a method for modeling waits in healthcare, and Chapter 16 focuses on rapid delivery of medication in the event of a catastrophic event. Section 5 focuses on achieving change. Chapter 17 provides a diagnostic for assessing the state of a hospital and using the state assessment to select improvement strategies. Chapter 18 demonstrates the importance of optimizing care as patients transition from one care setting to the next. Chapter 19 is new and shows how to implement programs that improve patient satisfaction while also improving flow. Chapter 20 illustrates how to evaluate the overall portfolio of patient diagnostic groups to guide system changes, and Chapter 21 provides project management tools to guide the execution of patient flow projects.

This book was released on 2015-08-24 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Transforming Health Care Scheduling and Access, long waits for treatment are a function of the disjointed manner in which most health systems have evolved to accommodate the needs and the desires of doctors and administrators, rather than those of patients. The result is a health care system that deploys its most valuable resource-highly trained personnel-inefficiently, leading to an unnecessary imbalance between the demand for appointments and the supply of open appointments. This study makes the case that by using the techniques of systems engineering, new approaches to management, and increased patient and family involvement, the current health care system can move forward to one with greater focus on the preferences of patients to provide convenient, efficient, and excellent health care without the need for costly investment. Transforming Health Care Scheduling and Access identifies best practices for making significant improvements in access and system-level change. This report makes recommendations for principles and practices to improve access by promoting efficient scheduling. This study will be a valuable resource for practitioners to progress toward a more patient-focused "How can we help you today?" culture.

Download or read book An Application of Discrete event Simulation to an Outpatient Healthcare Clinic with en Masse Arrivals written by Michael Alexander Findlay and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An application of discrete-event simulation is performed on an unique outpatient primary care clinic serving a military population at Fort Sill, OK. Access to the clinic is on an exclusively walk-in basis. Arrivals occur primarily in batches; arrival times and batch sizes are stochastic in nature. The nursing and medical staffs available each day also follow a stochastic process. The arrival process is characterized through discrete distributions. Several alternatives are modeled to examine procedural changes that may result in improved patient flow and provider utilization. A hybrid appointment/walk-in model was determined to have the best promise for improvement, but the possible benefits it may yield do not seem to justify the costs of its implementation in this setting. Possible applications of the hybrid model to other facilities such as urgent care facilities are discussed.

Download or read book Integrated Simulation Model for Patient Flow Between Operating Rooms and Progressive Care Units Using Custom Objects written by Ryan L. Miller and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Process improvements in hospitals usually focus on a single department (eg. emergency department, operating theater, specialty clinic, etc). However, actions taken in one department inevitably affect the performance of other departments. Therefore, higher efficiency improvements can be obtained by considering the patient care process as one synergetic activity involving several departments and various sets of resources. In this research we propose an integrated approach for modeling the patient lifecycle for multiple departments. First we describe a patient flow from his/her entry into the hospital through a progressive care unit until the patient has fully recovered. We use process mapping methods to address value added activities and other necessary activities in the patient lifecycle. Then, a simulation model is developed in Simio using customized objects created in previous works. Those customized objects carry their own logic and behavior. For example, the Bed object includes logic for a patient recovering while using several hospital resources (nurses, therapist) in his/her hospital stay. Those objects were used to build several configurations of an integrated model with multiple departments. Data about patient arrival patterns, their health acuity, and procedure needs were obtained from a real hospital in order to test our approach. The procedures duration data (which were different for different levels of patient acuity and for different surgical and other procedures) were used to obtain service distribution using statistical analysis methods. Modular simulation objects and data distributions from real hospitals allowed us to build an integrated simulation model with several configurations of the process flow. Simulation experiments were performed on these models and performance recorded. The recommendation for implementations in the hospitals is also reported.

This book was released on 2006-10-11 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is dedicated to improving healthcare through reducing the delays experienced by patients. It is the first book treatment to have reduction in patient delay as its sole focus, and therefore, provides the foundation by which hospitals can implement change. In short, the book provides "hands-on" discussion and methods for solving a variety of problems, and is a guide to motivate change in Health Care Systems around the world.
