Mathematical Decision Support to Optimise Hospital Capacity and Utilisation

医院的规划人员和管理人员经常面临与能力相关的挑战性决策。与资源的优先顺序、分配和共享有关的决策对生产力、效率和患者治疗结果具有深远的影响。在单个医院或整个区域卫生保健系统中，缺乏数据驱动或定量决策支持，无法做出与能力相关的战略或战术决策。该项目旨在为医院整体能力评估和规划优化提供决策支持。这将为卫生部门带来重大利益，为优化资源分配和为区域医院服务提供基础设施提供了一种工具。

Hospital planners and executives regularly contend with challenging capacity related decisions. Decisions relating to prioritisation, allocation and sharing of resources have a profound impact on productivity, efficiency and patient outcomes. There is a lack of data-driven or quantitative decision support to make well-informed capacity related decisions of a strategic or tactical nature in a single hospital, or across a regional healthcare system. This project aims to deliver decision support for holistic hospital capacity assessment and planning optimisation. This will yield significant benefits for the health sector, providing a tool to optimise the allocation of resources and provision of infrastructure for regional hospital services.
