Belgium ; Hospital Bed Capacity ; Length of Stay ; Models, TheoreticalAbstract: This paper attempts to provide some new evidence of the so called 'supplier-induced demand effect' in the hospital sector. By means of an endogenous regime switching model, the maximum likelihood estimates for Belgium are consistent with the idea that hospitals in excess-capacity actually increase the average length of stay of their patients, above what should have been if one considers only the 'patients' case-mix' of the hospitals. The model also includes the possibility of spatial spillovers which should appear as a consequence of this disequilibrium regimes. Those spillovers not only provide a better explanation of the patients dispersion among hospitals. They also decrease the 'supplier-induced demand' effect generated by hospitals by reducing the original extent of the excess-supplied situation. The model seems robust with regard to some consistency tests we have carried out.; e.g., it is shown that hospital sectors in predominant excess-demand (resp., excess-supply) are generally those where the net emigration balance is positive, (resp., negative).

WA 110 Prevention and control of communicable diseases. Transmission of infectious diseasesAbstract: * Includes worked examples, together with exercises based on real data and real-life problems
* Contains a glossary of key definitions and abbreviations
* Accessible to the majority of readers as it does not assume advanced mathematical skills
* Accompanied by online files and solutions to exercises
Mathematical models are increasingly being used to examine questions in infectious disease control. Applications include predicting the impact of vaccination strategies against common infections and determining optimal control strategies against HIV and pandemic influenza.
This book introduces individuals interested in infectious diseases to this exciting and expanding area. The mathematical level of the book is kept as simple as possible, which makes the book accessible to those who have not studied mathematics to university level. Understanding is further enhanced by models that can be accessed online, which will allow readers to explore the impact of different factors and control strategies, and further adapt and develop the models themselves.
The book is based on successful courses developed by the authors at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. It will be of interest to epidemiologists, public health researchers, policy makers, veterinary scientists, medical statisticians and infectious disease researchers.Contents note: Preface -- Abbreviations and Glossary -- 1: Introduction: the basics - infections, transmission and models -- 2: How are models set up?

HD 58.9 Organizational effectiveness -- General works
Indexation
Models, Theoretical ; Organisation and Administration ; Practice Guideline [Publication type]Abstract: In a world of increasing complexity, instant information availability and constant flux, systems approaches provide the opportunity of a tangible anchor of purpose and iterate learning. The five approaches outlined in the book offer a range of interchangeable tools with rigorous frameworks of application tried and tested in the ‘real world’. The frameworks of each approach form a powerful toolkit to explore the dynamics of how societies emerge, how organisations create viability, how to facilitate chains of argument through causal mapping, how to embrace a multiplicity of perspectives identifying purposeful activity and how to look for the bigger picture across multiple disciplines.
Systems Approaches offers an excellent first introduction for those seeking to understand what ‘systems thinking’ is all about as well as why the tools discussed herein should be applied to management and professional practice. This book provides a practical guide, and the chapters stand alone in explaining and developing each approach.Record link: https://kce.docressources.info/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=3910 Hold
