MedModel - Healthcare Simulation Software

In response to the expressed needs of MedModel users, PROMODEL Corporation has made substantial improvements in its MedModel healthcare simulation software. Beginning with its inception in 1993, MedModel was specifically designed to be simple to use and tailorable to the needs of healthcare managers, engineers and clinicians. As such, it provides a basis for the comprehensive evaluation of large, complex problems which are representative of healthcare systems in general. This paper serves as a preliminary examination of some of MedModel’s major features and capabilities. Activity based costing is the newest feature of MedModel. Activity based costing functions have been carefully designed to solve unique hospital and healthcare specific simulation problems. The easy to use menus permit the accumulation of activity data for locations, resources, and entities. 1 BACKGROUND Hospital systems analysts are constantly faced with the difficult challenge of making sense, along with recommend...
