Optimization of French Hospital Department Activities Using an Efficient Discrete Event Simulation Model

چکیده
A mismatch between patient demand and emergency departments (EDs)’ capacity to deliver care often leads poor flow overcrowding, therefore an increase in waiting. This paper presents a mid-term decision support system dealing with scheduling allocation of resources the ED Hospital Center Troyes, France. An efficient performance evaluation tool based on discrete event simulation (DES) is developed. Through what-if scenario strategy, 145 scenarios were simulated that allowed us create new benchmark does not exist literature. To rank select best alternatives, VIKOR multicriteria analysis method entropy used. With objective minimizing waiting time inpatient stay under additional resource cost constraint, this work has helped quantify analyze impacts related structural organizational reorganization ED.

Modeling and Improving Emergency Department Systems using Discrete Event Simulation
This paper describes a discrete event simulation study of an emergency department at Dr. Georges-L. Dumont Hospital in Moncton (Canada). The objective of the study was to reduce patient waiting times and to improve overall service delivery and system throughput. As patient waiting times are linked to resource availability, a number of alternatives were designed based on adding resource scenario...
متن کاملOptimization of Stochastic Discrete Event Simulation Models
This short note gives a brief overview of optimization approaches for stochastic discrete event simulation. In particular it shows how by the combination of different methods hybrid algorithms can be composed that allow a fairly efficient and reliable optimization of medium sized models.

Background: The waiting list is a list of selected patients in the surgical queue. If demand exceeds capacity, the waiting list grows rapidly, which may lead to unacceptable waiting for patients, especially those in need of acute medical care. Patients waiting for heart surgery are placed on the waiting list for surgery, and sometimes the waiting time is longer than patients expect. Reducing th...
