Iranian emergency department overcrowding
Today, overcrowding in emergencies has turned out to be one of the biggest problems in health systems around the world. In this case, a short and an accessible solution could not be reached. In fact, several basic reasons play a role in such a problem, and eliminating each of them would require long-term planning. This issue not only has a negative effect on the quality of services presented to...
متن کاملA Systematic Review of Simulation Studies Investigating Emergency Department Overcrowding
The problem of emergency department (ED) overcrowding has reached crisis proportions in the last decade. In 2005, the National Academy of Engineering and the Institute of Medicine reported on the important role of simulation as a systems analysis tool that can have an impact on care processes at the care-team, organizational, and environmental levels. Simulation has been widely used to understa...
متن کاملusing queuing theory and simulation modelling to reduce waiting times in an iranian emergency department
background: hospital emergencies have an essential role in health care systems. in the last decade, developed countries have paid great attention to overcrowding crisis in emergency departments. simulation analysis of complex models for which conditions will change over time is much more effective than analytical solutions and emergency department (ed) is one of the most complex models for anal...
متن کاملEmergency department overcrowding and access block.
Emergency Department overcrowding (EDOC) is defined as a situation where the demand for emergency services exceeds the ability of an emergency department (ED) to provide quality care within appropriate time frames. ED overcrowding has been a key issue in Emergency Medicine in Canada for more than 20 years. Despite increased political, administrative, and public awareness, EDOC situations contin...
