A simulation model of function-oriented patient treatment systems in general hospitals is proposed for studying the effectiveness of scheduling diagnostic and clinical treatments for patients. The effectiveness of a system can be measured by a number of criteria. The simulation model is characterized by a computerized procedure for generating a tentative feasible schedule and for improving the schedule according to certain heuristics. Possible applications of the simulated model are briefly discussed.
