Abstract: Systems and methods for managing health related resources. A length of stay (LOS) module and a waitlist module receive patient data from a database and, based on at least this data, determine probabilities for one or more patients. For the LOS module, the probability of staying for less than 2 days or more than 7 days after a specific type of surgical procedure is determined. For the waitlist module, the probability of the patient dying or becoming hospitalized within a specific amount of time while on a waiting list is determined. These probabilities are then used by a resource management module to adjust or reallocate health related resources such as critical care slots or surgical procedure scheduling.

Abstract: An arrangement (17) is provided for setting and adjusting at least one parameter in a radio communication network (11), which is used in control of communication in the radio communication network and which is dependent on a round trip time for a signal travelling from a radio network controller (13) to a user equipment (16) and back to the radio network controller. The arrangement comprises a module (17a) for initially estimating a maximum value of the round trip time; a setting module (17b) for initially setting the parameter depending on the initially estimated maximum value of the round trip time; a module (17c) for measuring the round trip time; and a module (17d) for adjusting the parameter depending on the measured round trip time, wherein the measured round trip time is expected to be shorter than the initially estimated maximum value of the round trip time.
