Problems solved by technology

However, for example, when dealing with practical health care decision analysis problems that involve complex system behavior due to the large number of endogenous and exogenous influencing factors that affect health care outcomes at different spatio-temporal levels At present, the existing technology lacks a system that includes technology and the integration of multiple data sources to provide comprehensive intelligent decision-making analysis and support functions to different users in health care

Embodiment 1

[0063] Example 1: Method and Apparatus for Adaptive Operating Room Time Block Allocation Strategy Analysis and Decision Support

[0064] In a healthcare provider, such as a hospital, the operating room (OR) will be one of the costly areas. Therefore, improving operating room performance is particularly important to reduce costs, provide needs-based services, and thus attract the special attention of hospital management.

[0065] Imagine if you were a health care manager at Hamilton Ontario Health Sciences Centre. You want to make sound and evidence-based decisions about how to improve hospital operating room block allocations to deal with dynamic / non-deterministic patient visits. You are seeking help from this invention and characterize / describe your decision analysis and support issues as follows:

[0066] "How to adaptively allocate OR time blocks to maintain stable OR performance in the face of dynamic / non-deterministic patient visits?"

[0067] After receiving user requ...

Embodiment 2

[0095] Embodiment 2: Method and device for analysis and support of adaptive regional health care resource allocation

[0096] Allocation of health care resources is one of the most important concerns of regional health care managers. Previous studies such as Mclntosh T, Ducie M, Charles MB, Church J, Lavis J, Pomey MP, Smith N, Tomblin S: Population health and health system reform: needs-based funding for health services in five provinces. CPSR 2010, 4:42–6 advocates the allocation of resources according to the occurrence and harm of disease in the population, where, as an example, the occurrence and harm of disease in the population is based on neighborhood geo-demographic factors (such as population size, age distribution, geographical accessibility, and educational profile) as assessed by population-based needs-based funding programs. However, when examining traditional service demand estimation methods (such as Kephart G, Asada Y. Need-based resource allocation: different...
