用预测+仿真优化疫情下医院病人转移,提升系统抗压能力。
Optimizing Hospital Capacity During Pandemics: A Dual-Component Framework for Strategic Patient Relocation
- 构建时间序列模型预测患者流入,提前规划资源
- 模拟不同转移方案,优化床位与人员配置
- 适合医疗管理者、公共卫生决策者参考
新冠疫情对全球医院系统造成巨大压力,本文提出一种双组件框架,以优化医院容量。第一部分是基于历史新冠病例与住院数据的时间序列预测模型,用于准确预估未来患者数量,支持医院主动调配资源和管理患者流动。第二部分是仿真模型,评估多种病人转移策略的影响,考虑床位可用性、医护人员能力、运输条件及患者病情严重程度,优化网络内医院间的患者分布。测试场景包括院间转运、临时医疗设施使用以及出院流程调整。通过结合预测分析与仿真建模,本研究旨在为医院管理者提供一套完整的决策支持工具,使其能预判需求、模拟策略并实施最优分配方案,最终增强医疗系统在新冠疫情及未来大流行中的韧性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The COVID-19 pandemic has placed immense strain on hospital systems worldwide, leading to critical capacity challenges. This research proposes a two-part framework to optimize hospital capacity through patient relocation strategies. The first component involves developing a time series prediction model to forecast patient arrival rates. Using historical data on COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, the model will generate accurate forecasts of future patient volumes. This will enable hospitals to proactively plan resource allocation and patient flow. The second com- ponent is a simulation model that evaluates the impact of different patient relocation strategies. The simulation will account for factors such as bed availability, staff capabilities, transportation logistics, and patient acuity to optimize the placement of patients across networked hospitals. Multiple scenarios will be tested, including inter-hospital trans- fers, use of temporary care facilities, and adaptations to discharge protocols. By combining predictive analytics and simulation modeling, this research aims to provide hospital administrators with a comprehensive decision-support tool. The proposed framework will empower them to anticipate demand, simulate relocation strategies, and imple- ment optimal policies to distribute patients and resources. Ultimately, this work seeks to enhance the resilience of healthcare systems in the face of COVID-19 and future pandemics.
