Robust modelling and prediction of the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada

Soheyl Khalilpourazari et al.

Summary: This research develops a method based on the Stochastic Fractal Search algorithm and a mathematical model to predict the COVID-19 pandemic, and performs sensitivity analyses to explore the effects of changes in transmission rates on the future number of cases. The results show that asymptomatic cases play a significant role in the transmission of the virus, and increasing testing capacity can effectively limit community transmission.

Identifying proactive ICU patient admission, transfer and diversion policies in a public-private hospital network

Jose Tomas Marquinez et al.

Summary: The management of hospital beds is crucial for two-tier healthcare systems, with a study proposing a discounted infinite-horizon Markov Decision Process to identify cost-effective policies for transferring ICU patients and diverting them to private clinics. The decision approach considers the impact of current decisions on future performance, resulting in proactive measures to transfer or divert patients for significant cost savings of nearly 49%.
