# Resource allocation in health care processes: A case study

**Published:** 2013-05-23  
**Categories:** Julkaisut, Working Papers  
**URL:** https://www.etla.fi/julkaisut/resource-allocation-health-care-processes-case-study/

Tässä artikkelissa hyödynnetään jonomalleja terveydenhuollon prosessien analysoinnissa. Laajennamme aiempia malleja huomioimalla i) resurssien heterogeenisuuden, ii) resurssien allokoinnin eri tehtäviin, ja iii) tiimit (komplementaariset resurssit). Mallinnamme yhden osaston toiminnan. Analysoimme mallin avulla kuinka resurssien allokointi vaikuttaa sekä prosessin suorituskykyyn että resurssien käyttöasteeseen. Tämä lähestymistapa korostaa prosessien suorituskyvyn riippuvuutta resurssien allokoinnista eri tehtäviin. Näytämme kuinka mallin avulla voidaan analysoida resurssirajoitteiden vaihtelun ja tietotekniikan hyödyntämisen merkitystä prosessien suorituskyvylle.
