Simulation Solutions: A Practical Guide to Improve Patient Flow & Facility Design in Healthcare Operations

Discover hidden insights, better understand complex systems, evaluate different scenarios, optimize resource allocation, enhance patient flow, and make informed decisions through simulation.

Using average performance to look at facility design or patient flow ignores the complexity of patient arrivals and treatments that involve humans instead of parts on the assembly line.

If you are a healthcare administrator, operations manager, planner, researcher, or consultant, this book will provide the necessary knowledge and tools to harness the benefits of Modeling & Simulation.

You will gain:

an understanding of the principles, methodologies, and best practices of Modeling & Simulation in the healthcare context.the knowledge to use Modeling & Simulation to understand healthcare systems, predict their behavior and identify opportunities for improvement.the ability to develop, validate, and utilize simulation models effectively.
Modeling and simulation will help you increase patient satisfaction and the patient experience, improve productivity, lower costs, and better use of scarce resources.

The topics in the book include:Making a case for Modeling and SimulationTreating simulation as a projectBuilding the simulation modelUsing Organizational Change Management to gain acceptanceMaking use of models in operations and facility design
If you are involved in healthcare operations, you need this book to open a new dimension of problem-solving, facility design, and optimizing flow to support the patient experience.
If you are knowledgeable about simulation but have yet to apply it to a healthcare setting, the book provides an understanding of the nuances involved in healthcare operations.
