MedModel
Introduction
MedModel is a simulation tool designed specifically for the healthcare industry. It is used in the evaluation, planning and redesign of hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare systems. In the hands of a trained analyst, MedModel models can be used to identify inefficiencies in an existing process and test a variety of scenarios. The animation and graphic output results show the behavior of your system under any set of circumstances. MedModel is used by more hospitals than all other general simulation packages combined.
Typical Applications
- Department specific productivity improvement
- Facilities design (labs, clinics, radiology, ER's, OR's, etc.)
- Planning for future changes
- Staff planning
- Analysing patient capacity
- Equipment planning and logistical analysis
- Evaluate the impact of HIPAA, JCAHO and other changes
- Emergency preparedness
- Bed capacity management
MedModel-based Solutions are successfully used by some of the world's leading healthcare organisations including American Red Cross, Baylor Health System, Deaconess – Evansville, HCA, Intermountain Health Care, The Mayo Clinic, MD Anderson, Miami Valley Hospital and many more.
