- Connect to Your Model
- Create a percentage route between the start of your model and the black box arriving to this model object. In case you are combining ED models, use a percentage route to connect the black box from ED2 Triage to the black box arriving in this model object.
- In case you are combining ED models, create a Get and Free route from Triage Patient activity to Nurse resource.
- Using a percentage route, connect the black box (connected from the Yes route) to the rest of your model. In case you are combining ED models, use a percentage route to connect to the black box in the ED4_a Patient Discharge model object.

This Model Object is best when used with other ED model objects Scenario Parameters
- Define Values: Change the scenario parameter values based on the Scenario Parameters information provided at the end.
