Overcrowding results in increased mortality of admitted patients, patients leaving without being seen, employee frustration, patient frustration, diversion, which can delay care to high acuity patients and the probability of having all ambulances waiting at Emergency Departments with no ambulances left to respond to emergencies
ED Simulation can bring the recognized benefits of workflow simulation to the Emergency Department within days, rather the weeks and months required to modify general simulation applications. All the objects and activities are pre-prepared - the simulation developer need only configure those objects and activities by entering only those values that are specific to the Emergency Department being evaluated.
There's no programming involved for the simulation developer. The programming is already implicit within the "ED Simulation" application. A consultant is not required: By pre-building all objects and activities within the application, specialized knowledge of simulations is not required.
With "ED Simulation", development of a detailed Emergency Department simulation takes a few hours, and running the simulation takes a few seconds. The return on investment is realized upon the very first "what-if?"
