Disproportionate effects of dementia on hospital discharge disposition in common hospitalization categories
CONCLUSIONSDementia proportions in many hospitalization categories have increased. The variable effect of dementia on home discharge suggests that dementia has a differential influence on hospital discharge disposition depending on the DRG.

Pathway variation analysis (PVA): Modelling and simulations
In this study, we propose a novel methodology, called pathway variation analysis (PVA), to identify, simulate and analyse variations from the patient care pathways. PVA method includes patient ward level journey dataset and qualitative staff interviews to simulate patient variations. The proposed methodology had been applied to the stroke care services of a hospital, which increased their key performance from 73% to 84.97%. A PVA methodology is proposed which simulated patient diversions from the care pathway by modelling hospital operational parameters, assessing the accuracy of clinical decisions and performance measures...
