3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to Flow, March 7, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Patient Flow: Reducing Delay in Healthcare Delivery (International Series in Operations Research & Management Science) (Hardcover)
I read this over 18 months ago and have been able to use the concepts presented to analyze access problems etc. The approach is from the point of view of system engineers without being bogged down by the math. Each chapter can be read independently depending on reader's needs. As expected, flow in the ED is covered extensively. Flow in the outpatient is not as well studied. An important take home message is the evolving nature of bottle necks. Increasing access on the front end may create choke point further downstream. I recommend it.
