متن کاملThe Hospital Patient Flow Model: A Simulation Decision Support Tool
Hospital overcrowding is a serious condition that threatens patient quality and a health system’s bottom line. Discrete-event simulation (DES), due to its ability to accurately predict outcomes in complex systems in both manufacturing and service industry design and improvement, is a well-matched choice for studying organizations with elevated variation. The objective of this study was to, thro...
