Abstract

Healthcare is growing sectors for optimization techniques since most of the Europeans National Health Systems are facing the goal of reduce their financial efforts. This paper presents an innovative approach where Systems Dynamics and State Transition Diagrams are integrated building a flexible and general model able to reproduce complex healthcare operations in a tradeoff between complexity and flexibility. The papers shows a case study applied to real life hospital.
