Overcrowding is a very challenging problem that Emergency Departments (EDs) face every day. Many scholars dealt with it focusing on a single ED and few works analyse the problem in a network perspective. In this paper, we reinforce the idea that managing EDs as a network can be an appropriate solution for mitigating overcrowding. Based on energy smart grid concept, we propose an optimization model of demand side management for reducing the waiting time of the ED network. In order to show the potential of model, its application to a 3 EDS network located in Naples (Italy) is presented.

Abstract
Overcrowding is a very challenging problem that Emergency Departments (EDs) face every day. Many scholars dealt with it focusing on a single ED and few works analyse the problem in a network perspective. In this paper, we reinforce the idea that managing EDs as a network can be an appropriate solution for mitigating overcrowding. Based on energy smart grid concept, we propose an optimization model of demand side management for reducing the waiting time of the ED network. In order to show the potential of model, its application to a 3 EDS network located in Naples (Italy) is presented.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
