Improving performances of the emergency department using discrete event simulation, DEA and the MADM methods
This article presents a method by which performances at an emergency department (ED) in a large hospital in Iran could be improved, where the long waiting times and unbalanced utilization create problems for patients and ED staff. This method firstly simulates patient flow in the ED and finds bottle...
