In most emergency departments, beds are a hot commodity. But some patients don’t actually need a bed for their treatment – and accurately identifying those people is a low-lift but effective way to increase efficiency without sacrificing care quality, finds a study recently published in the journal Management Science.

The researchers developed a simple decision tree, informed by mathematical and machine learning models, to help staff decide whether a patient truly needs a bed or can be routed to a “vertical processing pathway” – that is, an area where they can be treated sitting up. Many hospitals already have such an area but don’t necessarily have a systematic way to decide which patients are treated there.

John Howell is joined by Dr. Sheldon H. Jacobson, Founder Professor in Computer Science at the University of Illinois, Urbana. Dr. Jacobson speaks to why there have been so many flight delays and cancellations this Summer.
