Ultrasound (US) examination plays a important role in diagnosis process. The goal is to improve the efficiency of US in West China Hospital of Sichuan University. This paper presents results from the use of sub-period appointment. At first, process mapping was used to identify the flow of examination and the bottleneck of it. Then the flow was modeled by the latest simulation platform-simio. Different experiment in simio represent different booking rule, and in different rule we set different time interval. Every experiment has 100 scenarios which have different slots in different periods. Waiting time of patients is seen as performance measures to determine which rule is the best booking rule. Of course, we want to minimize waiting time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
