A method of analyzing alternative systems of scheduling hospital admissions by means of a computer simulation is described. The simulation is divided into three programs, dealing sequentially with requests for admission, scheduling, and evaluation of costs of three basic scheduling systems and using the output of each phase of the simulation as input to the following phase. The feasibility of using the scheduling program in a real-time automated patient-scheduling system is discussed, with indications of adaptations required and additional functions that could be handled by the system.
本文描述了一种通过计算机模拟来分析医院入院调度替代系统的方法。该模拟分为三个程序，依次处理入院请求、调度以及对三种基本调度系统成本的评估，并将模拟各阶段的输出作为下一阶段的输入。文中讨论了在实时自动患者调度系统中使用调度程序的可行性，指出了所需的调整以及该系统可处理的其他功能。
