Enhancing Hospital Operations: A Simulation Solution
A leading healthcare company evaluated an RSV intervention’s impact with our team’s simulation model, analyzing Emergency Department (ED) and Intensive Care Units (ICU) processes.
The study focused on reducing waiting times, optimizing resource allocation, and estimating inpatient bed needs.
Our team members assisted a healthcare provider who sought insights on the impacts of an RSV intervention. Through the modelling and analysis process, the client was able to improve hospital operations and overall efficiency, including optimizing ED and ICU processes, as well as deploying data-driven strategies for patient flow, waiting times, and resource allocation.
Our Approach
Comprehensive Simulation Model of Patient Flow and Resource Allocation
Our specialists developed a discrete-event simulation model capturing the patient journey in the ED and ICU.
This process considered various factors, enabling comparative analysis for data-driven conclusions.
