Simulation study: Clinical center esslingen-process analysis in the emergency department

Abstract

The following simulation study deals with the process inefficiencies identified in the emergency department of the clinical center Esslingen, the possible solutions to solve the existing problems and their simulation with the simulation tool MedModel. By using this tool it is to show if and how the recommendations might change process efficiency. The first part of this simulation study outlines the current process flows in the emergency department, followed by a short introduction to the MedModel software. In the second part the process of creating the simulation will be described as well as its results and the conclusions that can be drawn from them.
