Recommendations
A simulation model for evaluating personnel schedules in a hospital emergency department
WSC '96: Proceedings of the 28th conference on Winter simulationThis paper describes an Arena simulation model of a particular hospital's emergency department. The model allows the simulation of the process flows of 13 different types of patients, and is used to evaluate various feasible schedules for nurses, ...
Building Cyclic Schedules for Emergency Department Physicians
Physicians at a branch of the emergency department at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center complained that their schedules were too erratic because of the multitude of operating requirements, regulatory constraints, physician preferences, and ...
Assessment of patient-physician assignment criteria in emergency department by using discret-event-simulation
WSC '16: Proceedings of the 2016 Winter Simulation ConferencePhysician's workload inequality in Emergency Departments (ED) is a relevant problem that affects their stress level, which influences the service quality and working conditions. The patient-physician assignment rule (PPAR) has a bearing on the ...
