A SIMULATION TOOL TO SUPPORT RECOVERY BED PLANNING FOR SURGICAL PATIENTS
"... The cardiovascular (CV) surgery department at Mayo Clinic is planning recovery bed (ICU and step down) needs for the next 10 years. While the current practice focuses on high service level (60 % ICU utilization level), e.g., zero surgery cancelation, no shared rooms and no early discharges due to ov ..."

to overloading; expected increasing patient volumes will require high level (system) planning in order to maintain the same level of care. A simulation model was developed to support quantitative decision making for the planning process. The model accounts for variability due to surgery scheduling (with seasonal
PLANNING OF BED CAPACITIES IN SPECIALIZED AND INTEGRATED CARE UNITS: INCORPORATING BED BLOCKERS IN A SIMULATION OF SURGICAL THROUGHPUT
"... Simulation has been applied for the management of bed capacities in hospitals. However, the majority of these studies have ignored the application of this technique in specalized and integrated care units, wherein different wards, e.g., general ward, Intensive Therapy Unit (ITU), High Dependency Uni ..."

offering reduced care (e.g., HDU, general ward) because of the non-availability of beds in the latter wards. This has implications on throughput of clinical activity, as well as patients ’ cost of treatment. In this paper we investigate this problem of bed blocking through a case study being conducted
Simulation and Planning of an Intermodal Container Terminal
"... A decision support system for the management of an intermodal container terminal is presented. Among the problems to be solved, there are the spatial allocation of containers on the terminal yard, the allocation of resources and the scheduling of operations in order to maximise a performance functio ..."

modules for the optimisation of the allocation process and for the simulation of the terminal. The former is based on integer linear programming; the latter is a discrete event simulation tool, based on the process-oriented paradigm. The simulator provides a test bed for checking the validity
A Web-based System for Surgical Planning and Simulation
"... The growing scientific knowledge and rapid progress in medical imaging techniques has led to an increasing demand for better and more efficient methods of remote access to high-performance computer facilities. This paper introduces a web-based telemedicine project that provides interactive tools for ..."

Co-OPR: Design and Evaluation of Collaborative Sensemaking and Planning Tools for Personnel Recovery
- Open University Knowledge Media Institute
, 2006
"... Personnel recovery teams must operate under intense pressure, taking into account not only hard logistics, but ‘messy ’ factors such as the social or political implications of a decision. The Collaborative Operations for Personnel Recovery (Co-OPR) project has developed decision-support for sensemak ..."

In a personnel recovery experimental simulation of an UN peacekeeping operation, with roles played by military planning staff, the Co-OPR tools were judged by external evaluators to have been very effective.

"... The objective of our research is to create a system computing brain deformations. In this paper we concentrate on assessing the feasibility of using non-linear finite element computation for patient-specific simulations. As an example we use computation of reaction forces on surgical tools, with app ..."

Simulation supporting the management of surgical waiting lists. Discussion Paper della Sezione di Economica Politica e Studi Economici Internazionali
, 2003
"... This paper deals with the problem of managing elective surgery waiting lists. The popular discomfort under the persistency of waiting lists for surgical treatment forces the governments to encourage initiatives for developing tools and methods for standardising and managing them. By an operational r ..."

research point of view, waiting lists to get elective surgery, can be framed as a queueing system depending upon the stochastic nature of the arrival rate of the patients and the finite capacity of two types of resource: operating theatres and beds. Therefore, we develop a discrete-event simulation model
