NHSRwaitinglist: Waiting List Metrics Using Queuing Theory

Waiting list management using queuing theory to analyse, predict and manage queues, based on the approach described in Fong et al. (2022) <doi:10.1101/2022.08.23.22279117>. Aimed at UK National Health Service (NHS) applications, waiting list summary statistics, target-value calculations, waiting list simulation, and scheduling functions are included.

Exploring waiting list management strategies with simulation
Introduction | Scenarios | Set-up | 1. Bringing down a waiting list | What is the target for this service? | Options for management | 1. Raising capacity | 2. Reducing demand | 2. Our waiting list can afford to grow | 3. How our list will change with referral growth / service change | 4. Estimating uncertainty via Monte Carlo methods
