    A new three-level patient classification system manages uneven workloads effectively. This approach improves patient flow control in healthcare settings.

    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Management
    • Operations Research

    Background:

    • Healthcare systems face challenges with fluctuating patient volumes.
    • Uneven workloads can lead to inefficiencies and impact patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel three-level patient classification system.
    • To address challenges associated with uneven workload distribution.
    • To enhance the control of patient flow within healthcare facilities.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a three-tiered patient categorization model.
    • Implementation of the classification system to stratify patient needs.
    • Analysis of patient flow dynamics before and after system implementation.

    Main Results:

    • The three-level system effectively accommodates variations in patient workload.
    • Demonstrated improvement in the management and control of patient flow.
    • Reduced operational inefficiencies linked to workload imbalances.

    Conclusions:

    • A three-level patient classification system offers a viable solution for managing workload variability.
    • This system enhances operational efficiency and patient flow control in healthcare.
    • The proposed system supports better resource allocation and patient management.
