“…Hagtvedt et al (2009) and Deo and Gurvich (2011) model a hospital's decision to go on ambulance diversion using Game Theory. Game Theory has also been proposed as an aid to measuring transport reliability (Bell, 2000).…”

“…This is true, for instance, in Saghafian et al (2012) and Saghafian et al (2014), where various queueing models, simulation analyses, Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), and hospital data are used to study issues related to patient flow, patient streaming, triage, and patient sequencing in EDs. Hagtvedt et al (2009) use Game Theory as an extension to the analysis relating to an ambulance diversion model. A combination of stochastic and deterministic processes, such as a random walk, DES, and integer programming are used in Kokangul (2008) to optimize bed capacity for a hospital unit, further showing the integration of multiple approaches.…”

In recent years, Operations Research/Management (OR/OM) has had a significant impact on improving the performance of hospital Emergency Departments (EDs). This includes improving a wide range of processes involving patient flow from the initial call to the ED through disposition, discharge home, or admission to the hospital. We review approximately 350 related papers to (i) demonstrate the influence of OR/OM in EDs, and (ii) assist both researchers and practitioners with the OR/OM techniques already available to optimize ED patient flow. In addition, we elaborate on some practical challenges yet to be addressed. By shedding light on some less studied aspects that can have significant impacts on ED operations, we also discuss important possibilities for future OR/OM researchers.

“…A combination of DES and ABS with game theory was used by (Hagtvedt et al 2009) to reduce ambulance diversion and examine the potential of proposed cooperative strategies. Anagnostou, Nouman, and Taylor (2013) also used ABS to simulate ambulance services, and DES to model an ED in London.…”

Abstract. Current logistics methods are more focused on strategic goals and do not deal with short term objectives, such as, reactivity and real-time constraints. Automated logistics management systems tend to facilitate information sharing between companies, in order to support cooperative strategies, improve productivity, control service quality and reduce administrative costs. In this paper, we discuss the application of Inter-Organizational Workflows (IOW) for automating logistic procedures in a collaborative context. A case study of healthcare process is presented, and focuses on the negotiations aspects of temporal constraints in critical situations. We show how our proposed temporal extension of the CoopFlow approach, brings advantages to automating logistics operational procedures, by providing real-time data knowledge and decision routing for the case of emergency healthcare.
