Abstract

The use of computer simulation in the development of hospital systems, which has a major effect on the cost and quality of operation, is presented. Discussion of results achieved in specific areas include: inpatient admissions scheduling and control systems, surgical scheduling systems, maximum average occupancy prediction models, and patient classification systems for predicting the size of nursing staffs. The paper concludes with a discussion of the general problems encountered with computer simulation.
