223: using computer simulation to evaluate the effect of point-of-care testing on emergency department patient flow
ES Powell, RK Khare, G Reinhardt - Annals of Emergency Medicine, 2007 - Elsevier
Study Objective Through computer simulation, we evaluate the effect of implementing POC
testing on ED patient flow. Methods We used the computer based object-oriented simulator,
Med Model©, to model the implementation of POC testing in a 70,000 patient visit/year, 23
bed ED over a 2-week period. Inputs into the simulation include number of ED beds, nurse
and physician staffing levels, average number of patients treated per day, average
percentage of each triage category seen per day (based on ESI triage system), and …
