| Abstract: | Previously, we developed a modeling framework which classifies individuals with respect to their length of stay (LOS) in the transient states of a continuous-time Markov model with a single absorbing state; phase-type models are used for each class of the Markov model. We here add costs and obtain results for moments of total costs in (0, t], for an individual, a cohort arriving at time zero and when arrivals are Poisson. Based on stroke patient data from the Belfast City Hospital we use the overall modelling framework to obtain results for total cost in a given time interval. |
