A prescriptive optimization approach to identify minimal barriers to discharge for surgical patients

2023-03-29

Abstract excerpt

Ensuring timely patient discharges is crucial to managing a hospital’s patient flow; however, discharges are dependent on the coordination of multiple care teams and thus are highly decentralized in nature. Central capacity teams often lack transparency into how to prioritize scarce resources for patients who need them to leave the hospital (e.g., imaging or post-acute facility placement). Our goal is to identify...
