A well-functioning Emergency Medical Service (EMS) system is a fundamental requirement for saving lives in a Mass Casualty Incident (MCI). While the benefit of strengthening an EMS system is obvious, it is not so evident which components in an EMS system will most contribute to its performance. Using the Emergency Medical Service Simulation model (EMSSim), we test a hypothesis that the social infrastructure...
This paper presents a structured approach to building a high-fidelity simulation for an emergency department. Our approach has three key features. First, we use the concept of modules as a building block for modeling. A module is a minimum unit that has clinical or administrative meanings in ED operation, and it consists of low level operational activities. Second, we use a structured template to...
Effectiveness of emergency medical services (EMS) depends on a wide range of decisions in its planning and operation phase such as ambulance locations and dispatching protocols. Much research has been conducted on EMS design and operational decision making in order to improve the quality of EMS systems. It is often the case that these research works focus on a decision problem on a specific aspect...
