Introduction
the US healthcare system had shortcomings due to the growing complexity of medical practice by a poor organization healthcare delivery system; in fact the aging population was another factor that affected the deliverables of healthcare practices too. Nowadays, Healthcare facilities are experiencing continuously increasing pressure to perform effectively and efficiently due to the accessibility of new medical devices, the number of patients, and more importantly the competition between healthcare providers.

Project Overview The understanding of the operational overview would
help in designing the simulation model. The operational overview explains the movement of patients from entering the system till they exit

Assumptions Process starts at t=0 Patient arrive every 15 min No walk-ins Patients are processed oldest first The data collected from the time study is a valid
representation of the system There is down time for one or multiple exam
rooms Resources have no downtime The travel time is negligible Check out time is negligible The distribution used is Normal

Simulation the purpose simulation programs is find the areas that
can be improved through multiple scenarios. These scenarios are involving the staff utilization, Exam room utilization, scheduling and number of patients.
Two computer programs have been used. The purpose is to validate the results. The programs used are:
ProModel FlexSim
Expectations: Reduce the waiting time Eliminate the accumulation of patients Nurse Utilization. And, Exam Room utilization

Challenges There are few challenges using FlexSim Health Care:
lack of overview global process simulation possibility to measure specific activity performance
(e.g the time spent waiting for doctor) The designed model runs on number of hours,
therefore, running number of patents was never an option.

FlexSim Results Due to the challenges the results were close, however,
further programming is required to set the patients attribute, define the percentage of New Vs. Establish patients
![Page 31: Final Presentation 111](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062412/587aef971a28ab7f378b637f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Conclusion Each doctor should have a number of patients
according to their processing time Changing the location availability and nurses won't
help much The Accumulation of patients are due to the arrival
rate Increasing the Exam rooms would only increase the
waiting time in the facility. “for some providers” it would be useful to have a separate data to
established and new patients.

Future Work & recommendations
Use The time specified scheduling New: 30 to 45 minutes Established patient: 15 to 20 minutes
In the time study, different processing time for new and establish patients should be collected.
Reduce the processing time for some providers
