Title: | Case managers as a solution for the emergency department crowding problem | Authors: | VANBRABANT, Lien BRAEKERS, Kris RAMAEKERS, Katrien |
Issue Date: | 2019 | Source: | Proceedings of the 33rd annual Conference of the Belgian Operational Research Society (ORBEL33), | Abstract: | Emergency departments are continuously looking for opportunities to improve their efficiency. The case manager approach entails the use of dedicated physicians and putting a limit on the number of patients simultaneously assigned to a single physician. The potential of applying a case manager approach in an ED is tested by use of a realistic simulation model. By reducing physician multitasking, the case manager approach has potential to improve ED performance. | Keywords: | Emergency department; Discrete-event simulation; Case manager | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/27702 | ISBN: | 9789089130709 | Category: | C1 | Type: | Proceedings Paper |
