MedModel

A Windows-based simulation tool for simulating and analyzing health care systems of all types and sizes. MedModel is designed to provide engineers and managers the opportunity to test new ideas for system design or improvement before committing the time and resources necessary to build or alter the actual system. MedModel focuses on issues such as resource utilization, system capacity, and capability. By modeling the important elements of a health care system, the user can experiment with different operating strategies and designs to achieve the best results.

As a discrete event simulator, MedModel is intended primarily for modeling discrete patient care systems, although continuous processes can be modeled by converting bulk commodities into discrete units such as cc’s. In addition, MedModel is designed to model systems where system events occur mainly at definite points in time. Time resolution is controllable and ranges from .01 hours to .00001 seconds.
