Effective bed management is important for hospital management. Until now, bed allocation process is generally controlled by administrative staffs in centralized manner but it is not always effective. In the present study, we proposed and evaluated new method for bed allocation applying market mechanism via token. Evaluation was performed with newly-developed game-type simulation. Nurse managers as research participants played it and answered for survey. The result showed that the proposed method can be useful with appropriate operational design.

Goal: While studies have examined quality and health outcomes related to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS's) Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (HVBP) Program, a significant gap exists in the literature regarding the relationship between pay-for-performance initiatives and hospital financial performance in the program's Efficiency and Cost Reduction domain. This study examined the association between hospitals' cost inefficiency and participation in the HVBP Program by estimating the probability and magnitude of improvement or achievement in the program's Efficiency and Cost Reduction domain.
Methods: The 2014-2019 Efficiency and Cost Reduction domain data were obtained from CMS and merged with the American Hospital Association's Annual Survey Database.

Neuro-ophthalmological changes have been reported after prolonged exposure to microgravity; however, the pathophysiology remains unclear. Furthermore, several countermeasures have been suggested to counteract the side effects of microgravity. The objectives of the present study were twofold: (1) to assess the neuro-ophthalmological impact of 60 days of head-down bed rest (HDBR) and (2) to determine the potential effects of an antioxidant cocktail.

Children with overweight or obesity are at risk of experiencing perioperative complications during general anaesthesia (GA). At Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust in London, children who require dental surgery under GA are placed on a waiting list for the Dental Day Surgery Unit (DDSU) or the Evelina London Children's Hospital (ELCH), which has inpatient beds and a paediatric intensive care unit, depending on their body mass index (BMI) and centile thresholds. The waiting list for the ELCH is longer than for the DDSU.
