Long wait times in the emergency room are a major burden on patients and the healthcare system alike. To address this problem, process improvement simulations can play a decisive role in process transformation. […]
Model Objects (MO) are like Lego’s for process improvement projects. MO are pre-built segments of models that snap together and solve difficult simulation modeling problems. MO reduce process improvement time and increase project quality. […]
Build and Test Models in a Fraction of the Time In an Oregon Hospital, a modeler has learned a technique to build accurate models in 2 days. Not models of one interaction, but models of an entire department, such as Surgery, Maternity or the overall flow of a hospital. In this article, you will learn [...]
Application Story There have been devastating pandemics in history. In 1350, The Black Death killed over 75 million people. The 1918 Flue pandemic killed 50 million. More recently Influenza claimed more than a million lives. In this article, you will see how ProcessModel optimization increases survivability by 25% during a severe pandemic. See how your chances [...]
During a severe pandemic, Saving Children’s Lives requires making difficult decisions. Rather than accepting patients on a first in, first serve basis, the patients should be triaged and allowed access to critical beds and resources based on defined criteria. But, what are the criteria? There are proposed strategies but no one has been able to show [...]
