WIP based on Choice modelling and Mark Paich's Book and NZ work focus on Pre-ED Presentation choices, with ED and Post-ED care. Extended based on IM-998 4 hour rule context. Can be replicated to add interventions, as in IM-6167. See IM-9178 for Addition of After hours 'as is' and 'to be' flow models for Medicare Locals
Simplest ED Model for Weekend ED Performance with 1 ED area IM-11079 Ward net discharges are extended with Ward and Waitlist inflow and outflow details (informed by IM-7981) WIP
Published (Robert Wears) simple model representation described as a capacitated processing model, modified to separate Patient Flow from workflow. See also IM-8382 for more recent model
Clone of IM-6072 which is a WIP based on Choice modelling and Mark Paich's Book and NZ work focus on Pre-ED Presentation choices, with ED and Post-ED care. Addition of After hours 'as is' and 'to be' flow models for Medicare Locals
Simulation model of the WIP Conceptual map IM-7671 of initial scope of the effects of the ED 4 hour rule based on June WA Teleconference and IM-8221. See also the conceptual maps of addition of indirect effects at IM-7775 and the potential wider context map in IM-6167
A Rich Picture Story representation of ED overcrowding based on Using system dynamics principles for conceptual modelling of publicly funded hospitals] by HJ Wong et al Journal of the Operational Research Society 63, 79-88 (January 2012) | doi:10.1057/jors.2010.164 Click the +view story on the bottom left
Dynamics of Emergency Room Crowding with treatment spaces. Here we investigate the effect of constrained spaces and ignore any changes in treatment time or staffing effects. Many of the consequences occur before treatment with potential arrivals being turned away and arrivals leaving without being treated.
