A Hospital Admission System Based on Nursing Work Load
A model is presented to compare hospital admission systems based on (i) patient census and (ii) nursing work load. It is shown that nursing costs are lower under the work load-based system than under the patient-based one. Sensitivity studies show that the difference between the two systems is due to the fact that the work load-based policy takes into account patient differences.
