Small Patient Condition Stream Generator (SPCSG): Version 2.0

Abstract

The Small Patient Condition Stream Generator (SPCSG), developed by Naval Health Research Center (NHRC), allows NHRC personnel to make appropriate supply and supply quantity recommendations for Authorized Medical Allowance Lists. A tool was needed that would accept a small number of patients and still produce a valid estimate list of patient conditions and their associated probabilities. As a result, the SPCSG was developed, and its output has enabled further analysis of limited patient encounters. Other programs are available for estimating large patient streams, however, they do not provide accurate results for especially small ones, like those encountered in Mobile Forward Surgical Teams, Forward Resuscitative Surgical Systems, and Critical Care Air Transport Teams. This document describes the SPCSG, details the program's underlying methodology, and provides user instructions.
