Abstract

A semi intensive care unit is to be instituted in the child ward of the Department of Pediatrics, University of Padova, devoted to the admission of patients in severe conditions, needing special assistance and particularly quiet environment. A right planning is asked for what concerns both the number of beds and the number and organization of nurses, in order to satisfy all admission and respectively assistance requests (also in peak conditions) without unnecessary expenses. The problem was solved by modelling and simulating the unit behaviour on an IBM 370/158 computer by means of dedicated language G.P.S.S.-F.
