This paper deals with the service performance analysis and improvement using discrete event simulation has been used. The simulation of the health care has been done by arena master development 14-version software. The performance measurement for this study are patients output, service rate, service efficiency and it is directly related to waiting time of patients in each service station, work ...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Information available on drug consumption is inadequate in most low and middle income countries. This systematic review was conducted to analyse published work on drug utilization research/studies (DUR) in the SEARO region of WHO for study objectives, methodology, results and recommendations and to identify the need for improving DUR and the use of the ATC/DDD system. ...

The industrial solid waste recycling team at North Minzu University has done much research on resource utilization of magnesium slag. This chapter mainly introduces a discussion includes the use slag to prepare glass ceramics, porous and sulfoaluminate cement clinker, fixing/stabilizing heavy metals in acidic residue generated by lead-zinc smelting, modifying copper

One of the main aims of telecommunication subsidies in developing countries is to extend the information and communication services to the information “have nots” through subsidized communication services. However, subsidies may have an impact on network resource utilization, quality of service and the amount of revenue generated. For example, subsidies may lead to low Quality of Service (QoS) ...

Trust Establishment is one of the significant resources to enhance the scalability and reliability of resources in the cloud environment. To establish a novel trust model on SaaS (Software as a Service) cloud resources and to optimize the resource utilization of multiple user requests, an integrated software trust estimator with multi-user resource competence (IST-MRC) optimization mechanism is...

The purpose of this article is to examine variation in resource utilization across and within patient stays in the context of Medicare's per diem payment system for hospice. Visit-level resource utilization data were linked to patient-level diagnosis and demographics covering more than 68,000 Medicare patients admitted in 2002 and 2003. Our findings suggest that case mix adjustment based on dia...

An appropriate resource utilization is crucial for organizations in order to avoid, among other things, unnecessary costs (e.g. when resources are under-utilized) and too long execution times (e.g. due to excessive workloads, i.e. resource over-utilization). However, traditional process control and risk measurement approaches do not address resource utilization in processes. We studied an often...

As I sat down to write this editorial, I was paged by a colleague who had just learned that she may have pulmonary tuberculosis. She had a very strong exposure history in a highly endemic area of the world within the past year, a positive tuberculin skin test, and a “soft” but compatible history of recent symptoms. Her only available diagnostic test, a chest radiograph, obtained because of a no...

This paper discusses resource utilition over the lie cycle of software development and diiusses the rote that the current “waterfall” model plays in the actua! software life cycle. Software production in the NASA environment was analyzed to measure these differences. The data from 13 diierent pmjects were collected by the Software Engineering bboratory at NASA Goddard Space Fliiht Center and an...
