Effect of daily leveling of elective-scheduled surgeries on ICU diversion - (PPT)

摘要

There Is a significant variation of the number of scheduled elective cases between the same days of the different weeks (Monday to Monday, Tuesday to Tuesday, and so on.) Smoothing the number of elective cases over time (daily load leveling) is a very significant factor which strongly affects ICU closure time due to 'no ICU beds'. Using Process Model Simulation, it has been demonstrated (Phase 1) that daily load leveling of elective cases to not more than 4 cases per day will result in a very significant reduction of closure time due to 'no ICU beds' (from ～10% down to ～1%).
