A model is being developed which would analyse the effects of weather, flu epidemics and different surges in demand. The discharge pattern of many hospitals indicates a rush to discharge by the weekend that could raise concerns about appropriate care.

Excel's Solver can perform the optimisation required, whether nonlinear or linear programming formulations are used. DEA requires repeated optimisation. Since the macro language for Excel (Visual Basic for Applications) can control the Solver, a macro can be written to automate the process of calculating the efficiency of each unit. It is argued that making use of the developing power of spreadsheets to implement OR techniques such as DEA can help make OR more accessible to practitioners and students.
