Towards effective capacity planning in a perinatal network centre.
OBJECTIVE To study the arrival pattern and length of stay (LoS) in a neonatal intensive care/high dependency unit (NICU/HDU) and special care baby unit (SCBU) and the impact of capacity shortage in a perinatal network centre, and to provide an analytical model for improving capacity planning. METHODS The data used in this study have been collected through the South England Neonatal Database (...
متن کاملA Generalized Loss Network Model with Overflow for Capacity Planning of a Perinatal Network
We develop a generalized loss network framework for capacity planning of a perinatal network in the UK. Decomposing the network by hospitals, each unit is analyzed with a GI/G/c/0 overflow loss network model. A two-moment approximation is performed to obtain the steady state solution of the GI/G/c/0 loss systems, and expressions for rejection probability and overflow probability have been deriv...
متن کاملManagement of Perinatal Testicular Torsion: A Single Centre Experience
Perinatal testicular torsion (PTT) is a rare entity. The management of PTT is controversial, due to the low viability of the testis and the possibility of bilateral torsion. This is a review of our experience with six cases of PTT, highlighting diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties of this condition.
متن کاملCapacity planning of a perinatal network with generalised loss network model with overflow
Recent literature shows that the arrival and discharge processes in hospital intensive care units do not satisfy the Markovian property, that is, interarrival times and length of stay tend to have a long tail. In this paper we develop a generalised loss network framework for capacity planning of a perinatal network in the UK. Decomposing the network by hospitals, each unit is analysed with a GI...
متن کاملBest Practices in Core Network Capacity Planning
Core network capacity planning is the process of ensuring that sufficient bandwidth is provisioned such that the committed core network service-level agreements can be met. The best practices described in this paper collecting demand matrices, determining overprovisioning factors, and running simulations are the basis of the design principles for the Cisco MATE portfolio, especially (from a pla...
