“…For example, one study [53] observes that learning occurs among doctors using an EMR system. The particular learning process that is identified in this study is most likely reflective of the more general concept of absorptive capacity [54].…”

“…Many different approaches exist for modeling a healthcare system [1], such as system dynamics, agent-based modeling, optimization techniques, electronic medical records information system [2], disease managementprocess modeling approach [3] and discrete event simulation (DES) [4]. This paper proposes a two-step general modeling framework for healthcare process simulation.…”

We provide a continuation of the existing Activity Table Modeling methodology with a modular spreadsheets simulation. The simulation model developed is comprised of 28 modeling elements for the abdominal surgery cycle process. The simulation of a two-week patient flow in an abdominal clinic with 75 beds demonstrates the applicability of the methodology. The simulation does not include macros, thus programming experience is not essential for replication or upgrading the model. Unlike the existing methods, the proposed solution employs a modular approach for modeling the activities that ensures better readability, the possibility of easily upgrading the model with other activities, and its easy extension and connectives with other similar models. We propose a first-in-first-served approach for simulation of servicing multiple patients. The uncertain time duration of the activities is modeled using the function "rand()". The patients movements from one activity to the next one is tracked with nested "if()" functions, thus allowing easy re-creation of the process without the need of complex programming.

“…[1][2][3] Recent research, however, describes workflow inefficiencies, reduced satisfaction, 4,5 and clinician concerns 6 in relation to using electronic communication systems. 7 Mayo Clinic believes in providing quality, patient-centered care and creating a health care workforce of the future to align with its core values. A strategic meeting was held by leadership of the Division of General Internal Medicine at which concern was expressed among clinicians regarding the burden of timeconsuming administrative tasks that contribute to substantial inefficiencies.…”
