- The concept of simulation and its use in healthcare settings
- Demonstrating manually a simple discrete event simulation model: step-by-step
- Reviewing components of a simulation model and the required input data
- Demonstrating simulation models for capacity analysis and supply and demand balance in healthcare settings:
i). Outpatient clinic: centralized or separate locations?
ii). Outpatient clinic: non- steady-state operations
iii). Outpatient Clinic: limited queue size with leaving ‘inpatient’ patients
iv). Outpatient Clinic: Time-varying arrival rates
v). Separate or interchangeable (shared) operating rooms for competing emergency and scheduled surgeries, and some others
- Applying DES to Queuing examples presented in the previous webinar as well as presenting other examples beyond the capability of analytic queuing models
