STATISTICAL METHODOLOGY FOR INCREASING THE EFFICIENCY, THE OCCUPANCY RATE, AND PREDICTING THE BED REQUIREMENTS OF THE OBSTETRICAL UNIT.
Abstract
The purpose of the research is to (1) review the idea of the grouping of obstetrical units for decreasing the duplication of maternity facilities and increasing maternity occupancy rates; (2) introduce inter-hospital cooperation and the admission of other than maternity patients to the maternity suite as solutions to increase obstetrical occupancy rates and decrease obstetrical occupancy rate fluctuations; (3) demonstrate the feasibility of analyzing random processes within hospitals and statistically examining factors involved with human behavior; (4) offer analytical methods and techniques for attacking hospital problems.
