Abstract

This paper presented a discrete event simulation model for one hospital. This model was used to evaluate the current performance of the hospital, to perform bottleneck analysis of the patient process and to verify, base on simulation outputs, expanding alternatives that the hospital authority proposed. Different expanding alternatives were simulated and the simulation outputs obtained were used to provide the basis for selecting the best alternative. The implementation of the expanding alternative could decrease the waiting time of patients, increase patient throughput, and improve the service level of the hospital.
