An introduction to patient flow simulation for health-care managers

A R Mahachek. J Soc Health Syst. 1992.

Abstract

Simulation of patient flow is a remarkably useful management tool. With today's software for personal computers, simulation is no longer just for academics and consultants. Senior and mid-level managers should actively seek out simulation as a problem-solving technique. This article provides health-care managers with the fundamental knowledge needed to individually initiate simulation studies of their departments.
