Abstract: |
The year 2020
was very challenging for everyone due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many people
turn their lives upside down from day to day. Politicians had to impose
completely unprecedented measures, and doctors immediately had to adapt to
the huge influx of patients and the massive demand for testing. Of course, not
all processes could be planned completely efficiently, given that the
situation literally changes from minute to minute, but sometimes better
planning could improve the real processes. This contribution deals with the
application of simulation software SIMUL8 to the analysis of the COVID-19
sample collection process in a drive-in point in a hospital. The main aim is
to create a model based on the real data and then to find out the suitable
number of other staff (medics) helping a doctor during the process to
decrease the number of unattended patients and their waiting times. |
