OPTIMIZATION OF HEALTHCARE INSTITUTION RESOURCE UTILISATION

摘要

OPTIMIZATION OF HEALTHCARE INSTITUTION RESOURCE UTILISATION A method for optimizing healthcare resource utilisation is provided. The method includes receiving patient information for at least one patient, determining, from the patient information, a first anticipated institution resource requirement for providing a first current patient treatment for each patient to reduce a likelihood of readmission of the respective patient, and a second anticipated institution resource requirement for providing a second current patient treatment and treatment upon readmission for each patient, selecting one of the first anticipated institution resource requirement and the second anticipated institution resource requirement for each patient, to optimize healthcare institution resource utilisation based on at least the two constraints such as maximal nurse staffing strength and maximal hospital readmission rate target, and outputting a recommended healthcare institution resource allocation.
