Abstract

Several simulation models have been developed by the authors dealing with specific applications in the health care field at the West Virginia University Hospital, as well as for the entire State of West Virginia. This paper illustrates the diversity of simulation as a decision making tool in the health care field, in areas such as operating room utilization, vertical transportation needs, radiology staffing, and emergency medical squad location and operations.
