1426	 A Simulation of Hospital Admission Policy	 A study is described which simulates different admission policies of a large specialized hospital. The objective is to determine better policies for stabilization of admission and census rates while maintaining a reasonably full hospital. There types of policies were examined admission based on percentages of discharge rates discharge rates plus or minus a constant and fixed authorizations independent of discharge rates. The last type policy produced more stable simulated results and when put into practice improvements were realized.
