A Novel Approach for Resource Allocation in Emergency Department of Hospitals
نویسنده
چکیده
Emergency unit plays vital role in the hospital which is used to treat the patient who needs an immediate treatment. Critical patients need to be treated immediately, which requires sufficient resources. Resource planning is a most important scenario which needs to be considered while treating the patients in Emergency Department (ED) of hospitals by providing sufficient resources. Using simulation-based metamodels optimal resource allocation with minimum waiting time can be obtained. In this paper Monte Carlo Sampling (MCS) approach for efficient selection of training data has been proposed. Then experimentation for decision support using metamodels has been proposed to allocate resources and thereby address accuracy and robustness of the corresponding metamodels. This concept has been extended, in the proposed work to reduce the average waiting time of patients in need of emergency treatment. Keywords— Emergency department, Resource planning, Simulation-based-metamodels, Decision support, Monte Carlo Sampling, waiting time.
