Abstract

Intensive care units (ICUs) are limited-capacity, resource-intensive wards in a hospital designed to provide continuously monitored, intensive care and temporary support to critically-ill patients with a broad range of health conditions. Therefore, their efficient operation and management are critical to providing quality care to the most severely ill patients and to reducing costs for healthcare providers. Computer-based simulation and analytical models have historically been used to analyze ICU operational outcomes such as patient waiting times, bed occupancy rates, denied admission rates, and daily operating costs. This chapter highlights the variety of models and techniques that are prevalent in the modeling, analysis, and management of ICUs. Additionally, we describe an ongoing, multidisciplinary research project whose aim is to develop an empirically-validated discrete-event simulation model to analyze the performance of multiple ICUs at a local Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital.
