    • Determining readmission time window using mixture of generalised Erlang distribution 

      Demir, Eren; Chaussalet, Thierry J.; Xie, Haifeng (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007-06-25)
      The absence of a unified definition of readmissions has motivated the development of a modelling approach, to systematically tackle the issue surrounding the appropriate choice of a time window which defines readmission. ...

    • A Grid implementation for profiling hospitals based on patient readmissions 

      Demir, Eren; Chaussalet, Thierry J.; Weingarten, Noam; Kiss, Tamas (Springer Nature, 2009)
      Generally, high level of readmission is associated with poor patient care, hence, its relation to the quality of care is plausible. Frequent patient readmissions have personal, financial and organisational consequences. ...

    • A method for determining an emergency readmission time window for better patient management 

      Demir, Eren; Chaussalet, Thierry J.; Xie, Haifeng; Millard, Peter H. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006)
      This paper introduces a modelling approach to determining the appropriate width of a time window within which an admission is classified as a readmission. The approach is based on an intuitive idea that patients, who are ...
