| Abstract: | The Hospital Planning Model is a decision-support system for planning services within hospitals. A crucial test of such a system is the actual change in the planning process its use brings about. To demonstrate the potential impact of a decision-support system on planning, a major application of the system undertaken in an inner London district health authority is described. The case study demonstrates the impact which a decision-support system supplying relevant information can have on the planning process. The use of the system helped overturn management's original intention and resulted in savings of around 2 million GBP. |
