Integral Capacity Management & Planning in Hospitals

摘要: Care pathways in hospitals usually encompass multiple resources and healthcare pro- fessionals. This makes managing hospital processes capacities challenging. To prevent myopic optimization, process improvements should consider steps care pathways. dissertation aims to improve complex decision-making that in- tegrally manages capacity for Operations research may play a crucial role by analyzing such decisions safe environment before actual imple- mentation. However, despite the vast amount of available its potential, it appears implementation operations models results practice is rarely described literature. surprising, as mentation ultimate step realizing improvement. We try this final distinguishing two approaches: (1) organizing timing alignment optimal among related (2) (near) considering capacities. creates impact through implementing outcomes effects interventions Leiden University Medical Center.
