This study presents a simulation model to estimate hospital bed utilization based on population demographics, hospitalization rates, and case-mix. The model projects future bed needs, demonstrated with a case study for Canton Vaud.

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Computational Epidemiology
  • Health Informatics

Context:

  • Accurate hospital bed planning is crucial for healthcare system efficiency.
  • Estimating future healthcare resource needs requires robust predictive models.
  • Understanding the interplay of demographic and clinical factors is key to resource allocation.

Purpose:

  • To develop a computerized simulation model for estimating population-based hospital bed utilization.
  • To incorporate key determinants such as demographics, hospitalization rates, case-mix, and length of stay.
  • To provide a tool for projecting future hospital bed requirements.

Summary:

  • A simulation model was developed to estimate hospital bed demand.
  • The model integrates demographic data, hospitalization rates, hospital case-mix, and length of stay.

  • A projection for Canton Vaud (1893-2010) illustrates the model's application.
  • Impact:

    • Provides a framework for proactive healthcare resource management.
    • Supports evidence-based decision-making in hospital capacity planning.
    • Enables scenario analysis for different population and healthcare trends.
