Description
Eren Demir published a 2026 paper presenting a decision support tool meant to make hospital planning usable by managers and clinicians, not only modeling experts. Hospitals must balance rising demand against limited beds and staff, and existing tools often cover only parts of a system. The tool runs a discrete event simulation, a computer model of patient flow, spanning specialties and their connections with 360 input parameters.
Scenarios for 2023 to 2027 produced activity levels, bed and clinic needs, theatre use, and financial effects. One scenario, a virtual ward where patients are monitored at home, cut backlogs and eased resource strain from 113 percent to 80 percent in the reported run. Demir presents the adaptable tool as a way to test changes before committing resources.
