Optimizing Emergency Department Patient Flow Through Bed Allocation Strategies: A Discrete-Event Simulation Study
Emergency department (ED) overcrowding and prolonged length of stay (LOS) remain critical issues in healthcare systems. This study compared 4 bed allocation strategies to optimize patient flow and resource utilization in a regional teaching hospital in Taiwan. A discrete-event simulation model was developed using 1 year hospital data from January 2022, including 29 718 ED visits. The following strategies were evaluated: (1) intra-departmental bed…
Craniofacial Growth and Asymmetry in Newborns: A Longitudinal 3D Assessment
A longitudinal evaluation of the craniofacial growth of healthy infants during their first year of life was presented
The Impact of Acute Tinnitus on Listening Effort: A Study Based on Clinical Observations of Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss Patients
This study investigates the relationship between listening effort and acute tinnitus over the clinical course of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) before and after treatment. Thirty SSNHL patients with acute tinnitus were enrolled in this prospective study. Each patient was evaluated before treatment and after 1 and 3 months of follow-up. Listening effort was evaluated in the unaffected ears in two conditions (with and without background …
Evaluating Different Strategies on the Blood Collection Counter Settings to Improve Patient Waiting Time in Outpatient Units
Long patient waiting time is one of the major problems in the healthcare system and it would decrease patient satisfaction. Previous studies usually investigated how to improve the treatment flow in order to reduce patient waiting time or length of stay. The studies on blood collection counters have received less attention. Therefore, the objective of this study is to reduce the patient waiting time at outpatient clinics for metabolism and nephro…
Shock Index as a Predictor for Angiographic Hemostasis in Life-Threatening Traumatic Oronasal Bleeding
The objective of this retrospective study was to identify predictors of angiographic hemostasis among patients with life-threatening traumatic oronasal bleeding (ONB) and determine the threshold for timely referral or intervention. The diagnosis of traumatic, life-threatening ONB was made if the patient suffered from craniofacial trauma presenting at triage with unstable hemodynamics or required a definitive airway due to ONB, without other major…
Impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic on Taiwanese health care networks: Sharing experiences on a community hospital’s responses
Taiwan's Kaohsiung Municipal Min-Sheng Hospital is a community hospital with a total 350 beds and 644 staff and has been appointed as designated specialty hospital for health care network of infectious diseases prevention by the Department of Health, Kaohsiung City Government since the SARS event on 2003. For response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) listed this hospital as one of 167 nationall…
Improving the Efficiency of an Emergency Department Based on Activity-Relationship Diagram and Radio Frequency Identification Technology
Emergency department crowding has been one of the main issues in the health system in Taiwan. Previous studies have usually targeted the process improvement of patient treatment flow due to the difficulty of collecting Emergency Department (ED) staff data. In this study, we have proposed a hybrid model with Discrete Event Simulation, radio frequency identification applications, and activity-relationship diagrams to simulate the nurse movement flo…
Workflow and Strategies for Recruitment and Retention in Longitudinal 3D Craniofacial Imaging Study
Longitudinal epidemiological studies are considered the gold standard for understanding craniofacial morphologic development, but participant recruitment and retention can be challenging. This study describes strategies used to recruit and maintain a high level of participation in a longitudinal study involving annual three-dimensional (3D) craniofacial soft-tissue imaging from healthy Taiwanese Chinese elementary school students aged 6 to 12 yea…
A Moral Life After a Suicide Death in Taiwan
In this article we present the findings of a qualitative study exploring what suicide survivors in Taiwan experienced after a family member's suicide and how they adjusted to the perceived stigma. Fifteen suicide survivors participated in this study. We found that when a family member's suicide death occurred, survivors first kept a low profile when holding the funeral, and then tried to expel the dead person from their family. They also wished t…
