Abstract Introduction: Access to physiotherapy services needs be timely, avoiding the establishment of disabilities in users. Analyzing demands provides a basis for planning both management queues and preventive actions reorganization services, directing them main public. Objective: To identify users who needed outpatient Unified Health System (SUS) Campo Grande/MS characterize those cared repr...

Abstract— High-performance computing and vast storage are two key factors required for executing data-intensive applications. In comparison with traditional distributed systems like data grid, cloud computing provides these factors in a more affordable, scalable and elastic platform. Furthermore, accessing data files is critical for performing such applications. Sometimes accessing data becomes...

introduction: feedback cards are recommended as a feasible tool for structured written feedback delivery in clinical education while effectiveness of this tool on the medical students’ performance is still questionable. the purpose of this study was to compare the effects of structured written feedback by cards as well as verbal feedback versus verbal feedback alone on the clinical performance ...

conclusions using the simulation as a decision making tool helps us to decide how we can reduce outpatient's waiting time. comparison of outputs of this scenario and the based- case scenario in simulation model shows that combining physician's work time changing with patient's admission time changing (scenario 9) would reduce patient waiting time about 73.09%. due to dynamic and complex nature ...

This study investigates the expected service performance associated with a proposal to reallocate resources from a centralized chemotherapy department to a breast cancer focused factory. Using a slotted queueing model we show that a decrease in performance is expected and calculate the amount of additional resources required to offset these losses. The model relies solely on typical outpatient ...

production planning and scheduling are the most important issues of the production industries, which have a considerable influence on the productivity of the production systems. although, production planning and scheduling are in two different medium-term and short-term decision making levels, there are a very close relationship between them. ignoring this important feature in production planni...

Since software systems play an important role in applications more than ever, the security has become one of the most important indicators of softwares.Cloud computing refers to services that run in a distributed network and are accessible through common internet protocols. Presenting a proper scheduling method can lead to efficiency of resources by decreasing response time and costs. This rese...

Non-attendance reduces clinic and provider productivity and efficiency, compromises access and increases cost of health care. This systematic review of the English language literature (November 1999-November 2009) compares telephone, mail, text/short message service, electronic mail and open-access scheduling to determine which is best at reducing outpatient non-attendance and providing net fin...

Scheduling problems play a big role in manufacturing and planning the production for increasing the production efficiency and assigning the resources to operations. Furthermore, in many manufacturing systems there is a physical space between stages that called intermediate buffers. In this study, a model is proposed for minimizing the makespan of a hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with inter...
