SIMULATION-BASED SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO HELP HEALTHCARE CONSULTANTS AND HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATORS DETERMINE AN OPTIMAL HUMAN RESOURCE PLAN FOR A HOSPITAL

摘要

A method 200 for creating a human resources plan for a hospital system is provided. At Step 202, one or more inputs 46, 48, 50 related to one or more health care services that are each associated with at least one of hospital data and target data are received. At Step 204, variations of the one or more inputs 46, 48, 50 are simulated. At Step 206, the one or more inputs 46, 48, 50 are optimized from the simulated input variations. At Step 208, one or more output human resource plans 78 are created from the optimized inputs.

1. A human resources (HR) planning system (10) comprising:
an electronic processor (40) programmed to perform a HR planning method including: generating a tentative HR plan (58) based on received parameters including at least patient volume parameters and staffing parameters for a plurality of HR specialty units; computing a simulated HR plan (70) from the tentative HR plan based on received parameter variability data, the simulated HR plan representing parameters of the tentative HR plan as random variables with distributions representing the parameter variability; optimizing the random variables of the simulated HR plan with respect to an objective function (50) representing objectives for staffing of the medical institution; and outputting staffing plans for the HR specialty units wherein the staffing plans are determined from the optimized random variables representing the staffing parameters in the optimized simulated HR plan.
