Failure to utilize hospital beds properly may result in increased cost per patient day, since all facilities may be forced to operate at less than maximum efficiency. Various bed allocation policies are here investigated, by means of a detailed simulation model, in relation to levels of bed utilization. Use of the output information as input to a cost evaluation of alternative policies, in order to determine the optimal policy, is described.
未能合理利用医院病床可能会导致每位患者每天的成本增加，因为所有设施可能被迫以低于最高效率的水平运行。本文通过一个详细的模拟模型，针对病床利用水平研究了各种病床分配政策。还描述了如何将输出信息用作替代政策成本评估的输入，以确定最优政策。
