Journal ArticleDOI
Application of discrete-event simulation in health care clinics: A survey
TL;DR: The application of discrete-event simulation modeling to health care clinics and systems of clinics (for example, hospitals, outpatient clinics, emergency departments, and pharmacies) and future directions of research and applications are discussed.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A survey of simulation optimization techniques and procedures
TL;DR: A brief survey of the literature on discrete event simulation optimization over the past decade (1988 to the present) is presented.
Book ChapterDOI
Discrete-event simulation of health care systems
TL;DR: This chapter provides an overview of discrete-event simulation modeling applications to health care clinics and integrated health care systems (e.g. hospitals, outpatient clinics, emergency departments, and pharmacies) over the past forty years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling and analyzing a physician clinic environment using discrete-event (visual) simulation
TL;DR: A discrete-event simulation model that captures both the operations of a family practice healthcare clinic and a centralized information center is presented, providing a tool for risk-free evaluation of operating policies in the clinical environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discrete-event simulation optimization using ranking, selection, and multiple comparison procedures: A survey
TL;DR: A survey of the literature for two widely used classes of statistical methods for selecting the best design from among a finite set of k alternatives: ranking and selection (R&S) and multiple comparison procedures (MCPs).
