About this Content
Aims
Develop a system model to assist decision-makers in planning future hospital capacity, enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions regarding the capacity of future healthcare systems.
Background
SingHealth is Singapore's largest public healthcare cluster, providing comprehensive, multi-disciplinary and integrated care through a network of acute hospitals, national specialty centres, community hospitals and polyclinics, offering over 40 clinical specialties.
Methods
The dashboard is created using STELLA Architect to assist the planning team in visualising data trends for each module. Users can edit parameters based on potential what-if scenarios and run the data after modifying the parameters.
Results
The AMoC module aims to accurately model the effect of AMoCs in alleviating the strain on the rest of the hospital system. Hospital demand generally follows population trends, with the exception of AMoC where the S-curve function influences the overall adoption rate and its impact on other hospital systems.
Conclusion
The developed system model provides valuable insights for hospital planners, allowing them to make informed decisions regarding future healthcare demands.
Lessons Learnt
Challenges in accurately modeling population trends and hospital demand, and the importance of adjustable parameters for scenario analysis.
