Modeling and Analysis of Care Delivery Services Within Patient Rooms: A System-Theoretic Approach
TL;DR: A Markov chain model is introduced to study patient services within the patient rooms in emergency department, clinics, and other healthcare facilities and provides a quantitative tool for healthcare professionals to study and improve patient flow in care deliveries.
Journal ArticleDOI
A System-Theoretic Approach to Modeling and Analysis of Mammography Testing Process
TL;DR: In this paper, a system-theoretic method based on a Markov chain model is presented to analyze mammography processes and results indicate that such a method results in a high accuracy of performance estimation.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the effect of electronic patient portal on primary care utilization and appointment adherence
Xiang Zhong,Muxuan Liang,Reynerio Sanchez,Menggang Yu,Pamela R. Budd,Julie L. Sprague,Marvin A. Dewar +6 more
TL;DR: Patient portal users’ disease burden adjusted PCP office visit rate was significantly reduced in one and a half year and thereafter post portal adoption, implying improved care engagement of patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
From production systems to health care delivery systems: a retrospective look on similarities, difficulties and opportunities
TL;DR: The similarities between production systems and health care delivery systems in system modelling, design, performance evaluation and continuous improvements are discussed and the differences and difficulties that stem from variability, constraints, dynamics and human behaviour are investigated.
