A Discrete Event Simulation model was developed to represent the PD care structure including patients' pathways, treatment modes, and the mix of resources required to treat PD patients.

This concentration is intended to prepare students for modeling and simulating various problems related to supply chain management, such as procurement, manufacturing, logistics and distribution, ...

In a discrete-event simulation, the information related to the events scheduled to occur in the future is kept in a data structure called the future event set (FES). In this paper, we study the ...

Study Design: Discrete-event simulation model. Methods: We developed a discrete-event simulation model to prospectively model the incidence of drug-related events from a hospital payer’s ...

Discrete Event Simulation: A simulation technique that models systems as sequences of individual events occurring at specific times, ideal for examining operational processes.

The system is designed to monitor both cold-chain conditions and population-level vaccination coverage, two persistent ...

This module provides an in-depth review of simulation rationale, techniques and methodologies with a particular focus on discrete event simulation and their practical application to inform healthcare ...

We examined the relationships among ALOS, cost and clinical outcomes using a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) simulation model. A discrete-event NICU simulation model based on the Duke NICU was ...

Traditionally, simulation executives have been divided into discrete-event and continuous-time executives. Some systems require modelling using both discrete and continuous parts. Hybrid simulation ...

Background: Long wait times for scheduled surgery are a major problem in Canadian health systems. We sought to determine the extent to which single-entry referral models (next available consultation), ...
