Abstract
Patient flow logistics has to do with the management of patient physical paths/routes within a healthcare delivery organization from the very first access, to the triage towards the most appropriate setting, until the very end phase of discharge and integration with post-acute care. The focus is the optimization of patient flows throughout all the different production units along the entire healthcare chain.
