Load effect on service times

M Delasay, A Ingolfsson, B Kolfal, K Schultz - European Journal of …, 2019 - Elsevier
In this paper, we develop a general framework to analyze the influence of system load on
service times in queueing systems. Our framework unifies previous results and ties them to …

Impact of workload on service time and patient safety: An econometric analysis of hospital operations

DS Kc, C Terwiesch - Management science, 2009 - pubsonline.informs.org
Much of prior work in the area of service operations management has assumed service rates
to be exogenous to the level of load on the system. Using operational data from patient …

Past the point of speeding up: The negative effects of workload saturation on efficiency and patient severity

JA Berry Jaeker, AL Tucker - Management Science, 2017 - pubsonline.informs.org
Service organizations face a trade-off between high utilization and responsiveness. High
utilization can improve financial performance, but causes congestion, which increases …

An econometric analysis of patient flows in the cardiac intensive care unit

DS Kc, C Terwiesch - Manufacturing & Service Operations …, 2012 - pubsonline.informs.org
This paper explores the rationing of bed capacity in a cardiac intensive care unit (ICU). We
find that the length of stay for patients admitted to the ICU is influenced by the occupancy …

Early task initiation and other load-adaptive mechanisms in the emergency department

RJ Batt, C Terwiesch - Management Science, 2017 - pubsonline.informs.org
