Abstract

The operation of a hospital trauma center and associated transportation facility is discussed in this paper. A SLAM simulation model of the system is explained and example experiments with it discussed. Results indicate that significant improvement in patient service can be made through alternative staff scheduling patterns. Patient flow is particularly sensitive to the shift scheduling of physicians.
