Design and Analysis of an Outpatient Orthopaedic Clinic Performance with Discrete Event Simulation and Design of

Experiments


Outlines

MotivationObjectivesMethodologyExperimentsConclusionsComments


Motivation

• The decision makers of the outpatient orthopaedic

clinic are concerned by the importance of reducing

patient waiting times while keeping a high proportion

of occupied time for medical staff. Indeed, they are

receiving many complaints about long patient waiting

times.


Objectives

• The objective of our research consists in studying the

relationships and interactions between patient flows,

resource capacity (number of consulting rooms and

number of nurses) and appointment scheduling rules

in order to improve an outpatient orthopaedic clinic

performance.

Conclusions

• to develop new weekly appointment schedules for

outpatient orthopaedic clinics (tactical level)

considering orthopedists’ patient load and their

trajectories.


Comments• Advantages– This research opens new opportunities for

appointment scheduling according to patient flow types.

• Applications-Patient flow
