Dear colleagues,
How does one simulate with a software the average number of admissions
per day and mean length of stay(days) given that there 5 beds
available for that particular unit? I need to simulate for 1000 days.
The following additional information is available:
1. The unit 'opens' at the start of the day.
2. Patients due for discharge leave the unit.
3. Any new patients are admitted to the unit.
4. If empty beds are available new patients are allocated to them.
5. If empty beds are not available existing patients are discharged
early to an adjacent non-specialist ward. The beds are then used
for new patients.
6. The unit 'closes' at the end of the day.
I have used points 1-6 above to prepare a Simulation Flowchart.
I have access to SAS release 6.12 and is it possible to to this in
SAS or any other software?
I trust this is inorder and wait in anticipation.
Yours sincerely,
June E. Simakani
