The framework addresses the complex challenges faced by hospital to achieve a desired service level for the patients (e.g. LOS of 90% of patients must be within x minutes). Focused on managing patient queue dynamically before doctor consultation, the project shall implement the dynamic patient-prioritization strategies. The strategies make use of several greedy algorithms such as Shortest-Consultation-Time-First (SCON) or Shortest-Remaining-Time-First (SREM) to improve on patients’ length of stay (LOS) in the ED. |
The aim of this tool is firstly to allow healthcare practitioners to better understand and visualize the mechanism and effects of the proposed strategies; secondly to appreciate how existing data in the database can aid automation and improve operation; and finally to allow visual interaction with a simulation tool. | The aim of this tool is firstly to allow healthcare practitioners to better understand and visualize the mechanism and effects of the proposed strategies; secondly to appreciate how existing data in the database can aid automation and improve operation; and finally to allow visual interaction with a simulation tool. | ||
