Simulation of Patient Flow and Load of Departments in a Specialized Medical Center

This paper describes the results of simulations of patients' flow in a specialized medical center. The description of a model which contains two-component is provided and this model is used to estimate load of four departments of Almazov center due to emergency patients flow with acute coronary syndrome. The results of the simulations show that there is non-linear dependency between patients' mean arrival gap and number of patients in the departments. The model proposed in this paper could be used to plan reorganization of departments of a hospital. Possible improvements of the demonstrated model for usage in clinical decision support system are also discussed.
