Conceptual Framework for Hospital Bed Management in Industry 4.0 Context

[EN] Optimizing hospital bed management (HBM) is essential to balance capacity, reduce waiting times and ensure efficient patient flow. However, persis-tent challenges in real-time data integration, interdepartmental coordination, and adoption of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies stand in the way of...

This study proposes a conceptual framework for HBM, developed through a systematic revision of literature reviews. The framework categorizes key dimen-sions, integrating hospital-related factors, patient characteristics, objectives and performance metrics, decisions, modelling techniques and solution methods, with strategies and the role of I4.0 technologies.

The findings highlight research gaps in interoperability, solution methods, real-time optimization, and emphasize the need for scalable and resilient hospital management models.
