Abstract:
This paper was aimed to find an efficient plan for the arrangement of the beds in hospitals so that the bed-operating efficiency could be raised and the requirements of patients could be perfectly met. After analyzing the data using the method of mathematical statistics, we defined the concept of "Waste Index". In addition to the concept, we realized the auto-simulation of the model using the dynamic programming model, and design the program by MATLAB. We got the characteristics of bed-occupation conditions by data analysis. We obtained the result of optimizing model by programming and the most efficient plan which was obviously better than the traditional FCFS (First Come First Serve) plan. It can be well concluded that the mathematical model should be of great maneuverability in the practical situation to ameliorate the management efficiency of hospital beds considerably.

Specialized Care Centers and Settings-II
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...
