Funded Activity Summary

This study will model optimal patient flow through hospitals. Hospital overcrowding is a crisis nationally and internationally. Bottlenecks to patient flow are multifaceted and poorly understood. This project will use linked ambulance, emergency department, and inpatient and outpatient hospital data to provide the first comprehensive assessment of barriers to patient flow. This will inform health service policy and practice to optimise the delivery of hospital care.
