An Intelligent Algorithm for Optimization of Resource Allocation Problem by Considering Human Error in an Emergency Department
Human error is a significant and ever-growing problem in the healthcare sector. In this study, resource allocation problem is considered along with human errors to optimize utilization of resources in an emergency department. The algorithm is composed of simulation, artificial neural network (ANN), design of experiment (DOE) and fuzzy data envelopment analysis (FDEA). It is a multi-response opt...
متن کاملEmergency department resource optimisation for improved performance: a review
Emergency departments (EDs) have been becoming increasingly congested due to the combined impacts of growing demand, access block and increased clinical capability of the EDs. This congestion has known to have adverse impacts on the performance of the healthcare services. Attempts to overcome with this challenge have focussed largely on the demand management and the application of system wide p...
متن کاملHospital Emergency Department Simulation for Resource Analysis
The Emergency Department (ED) is an integral part of hospitals. Admissions from the ED account for a significant proportion for a hospital‟s activity. Ensuring a timely and efficient flow of patients through the ED is crucial for optimising patient care. In recent years, ED overcrowding and its impact on patient flow has become a major issue facing the health sector. Simulation is rapidly becom...

متن کاملA Novel Approach for Resource Allocation in Emergency Department of Hospitals
Emergency unit plays vital role in the hospital which is used to treat the patient who needs an immediate treatment. Critical patients need to be treated immediately, which requires sufficient resources. Resource planning is a most important scenario which needs to be considered while treating the patients in Emergency Department (ED) of hospitals by providing sufficient resources. Using simula...
