Abstract

Hospitals need to reduce wait times in emergency rooms to ensure timely delivery of services. This paper provides an in-depth investigation and evaluation of three distinct approaches to provide real time monitoring of patient flow. The three approaches differ in the number and nature of their data sources. The results suggest that additional data sources provide only little improvements in the monitoring capabilities. Monitoring patient flow can be achieved in real time with potentially little need for expensive and complex integration with hospital information systems by collecting location data or by using data collected from electronic forms.
