Abstract

Hospitals are at the centre of providing different health services to society and their activities may include nutrition therapy, rehabilitation, prevention and health education promotion. During these activities, hospitals may produce waste from medical and non-medical activities. Health waste management is similar to other waste management systems and includes production, separation, gathering, storing, purification and final disposal. If hospital waste is not managed correctly, it will become one of the major factors of infectious diseases in the world, regarded as a serious health problem. Health and therapy waste management is related to the health and safety risks of the transportation of the waste produced from health centres. Our long-term objective was to develop a planning and selection system to support the future waste disposal capacity. The present research included using a system dynamics model by means of Vensim software for the prediction of waste produced in the health waste system in different hospitals.

不同类型医院与医院废物管理之间关系的系统动力学方法(案例研究:大不里士)

医院是向社会提供不同健康服务的中心，其活动可能包括营养治疗、康复、预防和健康教育宣传。在这些活动中，医院可能会产生医疗和非医疗活动产生的废物。卫生废物管理类似于其他废物管理系统，包括生产、分离、收集、储存、净化和最终处置。如果不正确管理医院废物，它将成为世界传染病的主要因素之一，被视为一个严重的健康问题。卫生和治疗废物管理涉及卫生中心产生的废物运输的健康和安全风险。我们的长期目标是制定一个规划和选择系统，以支持未来的废物处理能力。本研究包括通过Vensim软件使用系统动力学模型来预测不同医院的医疗废物系统中产生的废物。
