Better hospital processes through simulation

• Waiting times? Bottlenecks? Lack of resources?
• What happens during renovations?
• How does patient traffic change?
• What happens when the emergency room grows?

 èTest changes without risk!

Simulation replicates processes and material flows in a wide variety of areas in virtual computer models. Simulation experiments allow complex statements to be made about behaviour, taking into account a wide range of factors (including disruptive factors), which can then be transferred to reality.

With the help of a hospital simulation, you can run through or verify a wide variety of scenarios without disrupting ongoing operations. The method is mainly used for new construction, renovation planning or optimisation projects.

Fields of application:

• Investigation and optimisation of patient flows, treatment and process paths
• Evaluation and design of room concepts
• Preliminary review of organisational changes
• Determination or review of personnel and resource requirements
• Investigation and optimisation of cost-intensive areas such as operating theatres and intensive care units
• Analysing administrative processes
• Analysing and designing logistics concepts (manual and automatic systems, conveyor technology, driverless transport systems, warehouses)
