“…La variabilidad en el tiempo del sistema (componente dinámico) es considerado en el análisis, al igual que la aleatoriedad de los posibles eventos que pueden ocurrir (componente estocástico) en el progreso de la simulación; desde una perspectiva analítica estos aspectos brindan una ventaja considerable frente a otras técnicas que permiten estudiar un sistema en forma estática y determinística. Otro componente que se considera es la capacidad de animar el movimiento de las entidades que fluyen dentro del modelo, lo que permite estudiar el comportamiento del sistema durante el transcurso del periodo de simulación [21]. Con la simulación se pueden realizar una y otra vez repeticiones para el aprendizaje de una maniobra o técnica simulada sin el consiguiente daño al paciente.…”

En la actualidad el área de urgencias es uno de los factores críticos del sector salud en Colombia, debido a la baja calidad del servicio suministrado y los problemas que en ella se presentan. En esta investigación se ha evaluado el comportamiento actual del área de urgencias de una Institución Prestadora de Servicios en el departamento del Atlántico. Se utilizó el Software de simulación Flexsim 7 para realizar las simulaciones discretas, con el propósito de obtener propuestas de mejora que permitan reducir el número de pacientes remitidos a otras entidades debido a la saturación del área y el efecto que genera sobre las finanzas de la organización. Se desarrolló un modelo de simulación donde se evaluaron diferentes escenarios como implementar el triage, asignar horarios de médicos y especialistas. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que se reduce el número de pacientes remitidos a otras instituciones, aumentando los ingresos financieros de la institución.

“…The Discrete Event Simulation (DES) techniques have been used a lot for modeling the operations of an Emergency Department (ED). The model was developed to test alternative ED attending physicianstaffing schedules and to analyze the corresponding impacts on patient throughput and resource utilization [5], to help the ED managers understand the behavior of the system with regard to the hidden causes of excessive waiting times [6], to analyze patient flows and throughput time [7] [8][9] [10]. DES has also been used for estimating future capacities of new ED facilities or expansions [11] [12].…”

The Emergency Department (ED) in a hospital, as its name implies, is a facility to be utilized by those who require emergency medical care. This paper introduces the longitudinal organization of the patient handling" in the Pediatric Emergency called the "Pediatric Emergency Path". This work discusses the usability of the workflow approach in order to design the patient path in the Pediatric Emergency Department (PED) in order to thwart the care complexity scheme. The goal is to optimize these paths to improve the quality of the patient handling while mastering the wait time. The development of this model was based on accurate visits made in the PED of the Regional University Hospital Center (CHRU) of Lille (France). This modeling, which has to represent most faithfully possible the reality of the PED of CHRU of Lille, is necessary. It must be enough retailed to produce an analysis allowing to identify the dysfunctions of the PED and also to propose and to estimate prevention indicators of tensions. Our survey is integrated into the French National Research Agency project, titled: "Hospital: optimization, simulation and avoidance of strain" (ANR HOST)1 .

PREFACEThe European Conference on Modelling and Simulation has provided, over the years, a forum for scientific discussions for simulationists from Europe, Asia, Australia, North and South America and Africa. It is this broad international participation at the ECMS conferences that has prompted a bold change of venue for the ECMS2010. This year's conference, the 24 th ECMS is held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and is hosted by the University of Nottingham.Organised under the headline "Simulation Meets Global Challenges" the conference emphasises the fact that in today's economy and society the most challenging problems have a global nature. The availability of energy sources and water supply, the challenges of logistics, food production and environmental sustainability are all global concerns. This is why the conference emphasises the importance of networking of individuals and research organisations addressing the same issues from different geographical and disciplinary perspectives. With the outsourcing of much of industrial production from Europe and the USA to developing countries in Asia there is much to be gained from exchanging experiences relating to social and environmental impact of industrialization; so as to build simulation models that can serve as a reliable source of foresight in decision-making processes.The University of Nottingham, Malaysia Campus is pleased to host the conference as its focus relates closely to the University's commitment to providing our students with a global perspective on real-world problems.The ECMS 2010 is organised around 10 thematic tracks, which highlight the breadth and relevance of simulation modelling methodology to problem solving. The thematic tracks such as Agent-Based Simulation, Simulation of Complex Systems, Multi-Resolution and Granular Modelling and Intelligent Systems Simulation provide theoretical underpinnings for a broad range of applications while the tracks such as Simulation in Industry, Business and Services, Simulation in Electrical and Electromechanical Engineering and Simulation and Control of Technological Processes provide a forum for the discussion of domain-specific simulation results. However, the list of application areas represented by the conference tracks is not exhaustive and the conference programme includes some papers dealing with computer simulations in agriculture and crop science which are certain to become much more prominent in future.The track record of 24 years of ECMS conferences is rooted in the vibrancy of the international community of simulationists who play a key role in helping to understand complex real-life problems through simulation modelling studies. We, the organisers of the ECMS2010, are confident that the cross-fertilisation of ideas afforded through formal presentations and informal discussions at the conference will provide a step forward in tackling global challenges.We wish all participants a fruitful conference and an enjoyable stay in Kuala Lumpur.
