dc.description.abstract | As part of the planning of a new hospital, an analysis was per formed to determine the number of procedures that would be performed in each of nineteen ancillary departments on a day of the week basis. Because the planned occupancy was not the maximum possible, attempts were made using simulation to smooth the daily ancillary loads by varying the admission day of elective, urgent inpatient and outpatient loads. The methodology, sample outputs, and main conclusions are presented. | en_US |
