摘  要:

Prolonged waiting time for admission from emergency department (ED) to inpatient beds is a leading cause of ED overcrowding and can negatively impact patient safety. In this talk, (a) I will review and compare two service time models that attempt to capture time-of-day effect of the waiting time; they are the two-time-scale service time model of Shi et al (2016) and the inspection-delay service time model of Chan, Dong and Green (2016). (b) I will demonstrate the role of Stein method to generate approximations for waiting time performance that is accurate in a variety of parameter regimes. (c) I will discuss the recent effort in developing approximate dynamic programming algorithms to optimize the trade-off between waiting time and the fraction of patients who are assigned to non-primary beds.

Jim Dai holds a Presidential Chair at The Chinese University of Hong Kong(Shenzhen), co-directing the Institute for Data and Decision Analytics. He is currently the Leon C. Welch Professor at Cornell University. Dai studies efficient resource allocation models in processing networks that model service systems such as customer contact centers, data centers, hospital patient flow management, airline yield management, and ridesharing networks. He is an Fellow of Institute of Mathematical Statistics and an Fellow of INFORMS. He received the Erlang Prize from INFORMS and the ACM SIGMETRICS Achievement Award. Dai ever served as the Editor-In-Chief of M.O.R., the Area Editor of Operations Research, and the associate Editors of Management Science.
