System Dynamics Simulation Code for Bed Blocking in the Netherlands

This deposit contains the R source code (as a PDF listing) for a system dynamics simulation that analyzes hospital bed blocking caused by hip-fracture patients awaiting transfer to geriatric institutions in the Netherlands. The model implements stock-and-flow equations to track patient inflow, length-of-stay, discharge queues, and downstream capacity constraints. Typical outputs include time series for acute-ward occupancy, blocked beds, and waiting-list size under alternative capacity or policy scenarios. No patient-level data are included; the code runs on parameters only.
