Outline of Final Research Achievements

We studied the algorithm for determining the admission and bed allocation for patients by hearing from doctors and nurses in charge of bed control in the University of Tsukuba Hospital. We then implemented the algorithm and user interface on the tablet terminal. However, our system has not been used in real operation, because all the wards moved to a new building at the final stage of this research period. We also received a complete log of orders for the movement of patients from room to room during hospitalization over two years. We have succeeded in modeling the flow of obstetric patients by a queueing network, which can predict the number of patients in the obstetric wards from the statistics of admission rates and length-of-stay.
