This paper presents an operational model of patient flow through a hospital. The operations involved in the patient flow are explained and the development and use of the model are discussed. The model uses the data derived from the NHS minimum contract data set which is collected by all hospitals, and this results in the model being generalizable to any hospital. Typically the model can be used to determine the appropriate bed numbers for a given arrival pattern, or the effects of particular management strategies or changes in patient care patterns on the hospital. The model is implemented on a PC running the Microsoft Windows operating environment, and solved used a simulation approach.
本文提出了一个医院患者流动的运营模型。阐述了患者流动过程中涉及的操作，并讨论了该模型的开发与应用。该模型使用了所有医院都收集的英国国民健康保险制度（NHS）最低合同数据集的数据，这使得该模型能够推广应用于任何医院。通常，该模型可用于根据给定的患者到达模式确定合适的床位数量，或用于确定特定管理策略或患者护理模式变化对医院的影响。该模型在运行微软Windows操作环境的个人电脑上实现，并采用模拟方法求解。
