Abstract
Many diverse healthcare systems, including hospitals, laboratories, pharmaceutical business, radiology, organ transplant etc. have been modelled and studied using queuing models. Due to their analytical nature and capacity for speedy resolution, queueing models are well-liked by researchers and system designers and can offer reasonably accurate assessments of system performance. The problem of allocating the ideal number of beds to different wards, as well as assigning roles to doctors in various hospital wards and outside the hospital, is one that health care management is now dealing with. In this paper, we will use (M/M/C) queue to explore bed occupancy management, patient movement, and ideal bed counts in hospitals. Additionally, we will look for the probability that a patient will be chosen for a bed allocation and the expected occupancy rates for a specific time frame.
