Optimising patient flow and identifying inequalities in health service delivery in NSW hospitals using linked data

这项研究将对医院中的最优病人流进行建模。医院人满为患是国内和国际上的一个危机。患者流动的瓶颈是多方面的，人们对此知之甚少。该项目将使用关联的救护车、急诊科以及住院和门诊医院数据来提供对患者流动障碍的第一次全面评估。这将为卫生服务政策和做法提供信息，以优化医院护理的提供。

This study will model optimal patient flow through hospitals. Hospital overcrowding is a crisis nationally and internationally. Bottlenecks to patient flow are multifaceted and poorly understood. This project will use linked ambulance, emergency department, and inpatient and outpatient hospital data to provide the first comprehensive assessment of barriers to patient flow. This will inform health service policy and practice to optimise the delivery of hospital care.
