Modelling Hospital Patient Flow: Recent Developments and Future Directions
Modelling patient flow in health care systems is considered vital in understanding the system's activity and may therefore prove to be useful in improving their functionality. A measure, extensively used, is the average length of stay which, although easy to calculate and quantify, assumes normally distributed data thus making the subsequent modelling of resources totally unsuitable. In fact, s...
متن کاملMEMS - Recent Developments, Future Directions
This report deals with the field of micro-electromechanical systems, or MEMS. MEMS encompass the process-based technologies used to fabricate tiny integrated devices and/or systems that integrate functionalities from different physical domains into one device. Such devices are fabricated using a wide range of technologies, having in common the ability to create structures with microand even nan...
متن کاملEvaluative Conditioning: Recent Developments and Future Directions
Evaluative conditioning (EC) is generally considered to be one of the routes via which likes and dislikes are acquired. We identify recent trends in EC research and speculate about the topics that will dominate future research on EC. Many of the recent developments in EC research were shaped by functional definitions of EC that refer only to environmental conditions, but not to mental processes...
متن کاملNeurovisual rehabilitation: recent developments and future directions.
Central visual and oculomotor disorders are present in some 20%-40% of patients in neurological rehabilitation centres. Gianutsos reported that 50% of the patients in a head trauma rehabilitation centre show visual system disorders not assessed before although most of the patients were chronic and had been treated in other hospitals previously. In a large sample of 314 patients with postchiasma...
