A GPSS/H model was developed to simulate the flow of patients through a hospital’s critical care units, including the operating room, post anesthesia recovery unit, surgical intensive care unit, intermediate surgical care unit, coronary care unit, intermediate coronary care unit, telemetry unit, medical intensive care unit, and ventilator unit. The primary objective of developing the model was to assist hospitrd clinical and administrative staff in determining g critical care bed requirements. This paper describes previous research on the development of bed-sizing models, the design of the critical care simulation model, validation and use of the model, and a critique of the model’s application, with implications for future research.
