通常，大型医疗保健机构除了主要的旗舰位置外，还会有多个卫星诊所。拥有多个诊所的价值包括能够通过改善可及性来更好地为患者服务，同时提高共同结构和政策的效率。与大多数医疗保健诊所的仿真模型不同，这些模型是为一个特定的位置而设计的，并且不容易适应，没有显著的努力，我们开发了一个灵活的离散事件仿真模型来代表两个骨科中心。除了证明采用相同的模型为两个诊所的有效性，一个图形用户界面的构建，使诊所经理修改模拟参数，最大限度地减少未来的模型调整的需要。模拟模型的价值进行了验证，通过评估新的政策影响的作用，中层供应商和结果表明，提高及时性的护理诊所之间的最佳政策。
Often large health care organizations will have multiple satellite clinics in addition to the primary flagship location. The value of having multiple clinics includes the ability to better serve patients by improving accessibility while also increasing efficiencies from common structures and policies. Unlike most simulation models of health care clinics, which are uniquely designed for one specific location and are not easily adapted without significant effort, we develop one flexible discrete-event simulation model to represent two orthopedic centers. In addition to demonstrating the validity of employing the same model for two clinics, a graphical user interface is constructed to enable the clinic managers to modify simulation parameters, minimizing the need for future model adaptations. The value of the simulation model is verified by evaluating the effects of new policies impacting the role of mid-level providers and results show that the best policy for improving timeliness of care varies among clinics.
