Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a Markov chain model to study the care delivery services within the patient rooms. Closed formulas to evaluate the patient length of stay and staff utilizations are developed. To illustrate the method, a numerical example is presented and monotonic properties are discussed. Such a model provides a quantitative tool for healthcare professionals to study and improve patient flow in care deliveries. © 2011 IEEE.
