Data-Driven Bed Capacity Planning Using Mt/Gt/M_t/G_t/\infty Queueing Models with an Application to Neonatal Intensive Care Units

This paper proposes a data-driven framework using time-varying Mt/Gt/M_t/G_t/\infty queueing models to improve long-term ICU capacity planning by capturing fluctuating admission rates and heterogeneous length-of-stay distributions, demonstrating that static heuristics like the 85% occupancy rule are inadequate for managing real-world demand variability in neonatal intensive care units.
