Using Interactive Graphics in Simulating the Hospital Emergency Room

Abstract

The hospital emergency room is a complex system having many interrelated factors contributing to its operation. A computer program has been designed which uses computer graphics and interaction with the user to create a flexible modeling environment for analysis of hospital emergency rooms. In projects involving analysis of public systems, it is especially important that close communication be maintained between the public administrator and the analyst. Tools of the type which concern the present research can make a significant contribution towards this end.
