  1. Perfect World Model of the EU with Andrew Nelson, KeshBaboolal, Jeff Griffiths, Cheryl Voake

  2. Problem Cardiff and Vale Health Board approached the OR Group within Cardiff School of Mathematics to help determine: • whether further investment in the emergency department was indeed warranted; • whether the allocation of resources within the emergency and assessment units could be improved; • whether capacity within the emergency department was being used to compensate for constraints beyond the emergency unit.

  4. Demand patterns • 3 Phases of the day: • 1000-1800 • 1800-0200 • 0200-1000 • 3 Phases of the week: • Monday • Tue/Wed/Thu/Fri • Sat/Sun

  10. Different Staffing Patterns • Registrars, Consultants, Nurse Assessors • Clinical Decision Makers: 11 7 14 18 02 10 11 Members of Staff between 1800 and 0200. 7 Members of Staff between 0200 and 1000. 14 Members of Staff between 1000 and 1800.

  11. Different Staffing Patterns

  12. Closer Look at 8.6.11 • Reducing the number of TB, MAU and SAU beds:

  13. Conclusions • Not a perfect world: Service (To remove “blockage” ward needs to accommodate an arrival every 30 minutes)
