This paper describes the design of a simulation model to provide decision support for the scheduling of patients waiting for elective surgery in the public hospital system. Patients nominated for surgery by doctors are categorised by urgency and type of operation. The simulation model can be used as an operational tool to match hospital availability and patient need. It can also be used to report upon the performance of the system, and as a planning tool to compare the effectiveness of alternative policies in this multi-criteria decision environment.
本文描述了一个模拟模型的设计，该模型旨在为公立医院系统中等待择期手术的患者安排提供决策支持。医生提名进行手术的患者按紧急程度和手术类型进行分类。该模拟模型可作为一种操作工具，以匹配医院的可用资源和患者需求。它还可用于报告系统的运行情况，并作为一种规划工具，在这种多标准决策环境中比较替代政策的有效性。
