The operations involved in the patient flow are explained and the development and use of the model are discussed. The model uses the data derived from the NHS minimum contract data set which is collected by all hospitals, and this results in the model being generalizable to any hospital. Typically the model can be used to determine the appropriate bed numbers for a given arrival pattern, or the effects of particular management strategies or changes in patient care patterns on the hospital. The model is implemented on a PC running the Microsoft Windows operating environment, and solved used a simulation approach. © 1995 Oxford University Press Part 3: Simulation and Modelling nationallicence hospital capacity nationallicence hospital bed use nationallicence operational modelling nationallicence simulation nationallicence decision support nationallicence GOVE DARRYL Institute of Modelling for Healthcare, Faculty of Mathematical Studies, University of Southampton, Southampton SO 17 1BJ, UK aut HEWETT DAVID Institute of Modelling for Healthcare, Faculty of Mathematical Studies, University of Southampton, Southampton SO 17 1BJ, UK aut SHAHANI ARJAN Institute of Modelling for Healthcare, Faculty of Mathematical Studies, University of Southampton, Southampton SO 17 1BJ, UK aut Mathematical Medicine and Biology: A Journal of the IMA Oxford University Press 12/3-4(1995-09), 329-338 1477-8599 12:3-4<329 1995 12 imammb https://doi.org/10.1093/imammb/12.3-4.329 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1093/imammb/12.3-4.329 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- GOVE DARRYL Institute of Modelling for Healthcare, Faculty of Mathematical Studies, University of Southampton, Southampton SO 17 1BJ, UK aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- HEWETT DAVID Institute of Modelling for Healthcare, Faculty of Mathematical Studies, University of Southampton, Southampton SO 17 1BJ, UK aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- SHAHANI ARJAN Institute of Modelling for Healthcare, Faculty of Mathematical Studies, University of Southampton, Southampton SO 17 1BJ, UK aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Mathematical Medicine and Biology: A Journal of the IMA Oxford University Press 12/3-4(1995-09), 329-338 1477-8599 12:3-4<329 1995 12 imammb Metadata rights reserved CC BY-NC-4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-oxford
