Healthcare simulation modeling and optimization using MedModel

ABSTRACT

MedModel was specifically designed to be simple to use and tailorable to the needs of healthcare managers, engineers and clinicians. As such, it provides a basis for the comprehensive evaluation of large, complex problems which are representative of healthcare systems in general. This paper serves as a preliminary examination of some of MedModel's comprehensive features and capabilities. Independent arrivals and scheduled appointments as well as new statements and functions have been carefully designed to solve unique hospital and healthcare specific simulation problems.
