Overcrowding affects hospital emergency departments (ED) worldwide. Most OR studies addressing overcrowding develop bespoke models to explore potential improvements but ignore the organisational context in which they would be implemented, and few influence practice. There is interest whether reusable models, for ED crowding healthcare generally, could have more impact. We developed a configurable approach tackling overcrowding. A queuing model exploring drivers of performance was augmented...
To quantify the effect of intrahospital patient flow on emergency department (ED) performance targets and indicate if expectations set by National Health Service (NHS) England 5-year forward review are realistic in returning services to previous levels. Linear regression analysis routinely reported trust activity data using a series cross-sectional studies. NHS trusts submitting routine nationally measures England. 142 acute non-specialist operating between 2012 2016. The primary outcome...
Full-scale marine current energy converter devices have now been operational for several years. These the potential to provide large scale electricity generation when placed in farms/arrays areas of fast flowing tidal currents. Now full-scale concept has proven experienced operators are a position array developers with such applications, thus at present first arrays planning and consenting stage around globe. The inter-device spacing within these can profound effect both on flow field...
Objectives There have been claims that Delayed Transfers of Care (DTOCs) inpatients to home or a less acute setting are related Emergency Department (ED) crowding. In particular DTOCs were associated with breaches the UK 4-hour waiting time target in previously published analysis. However, analysis has major limitations by not adjusting for longitudinal trend data. The aim this work is investigate whether proposition impact requires further research. Method Estimation an association between...
