Title
A simulation study of the labor and delivery rooms at JMH
Abstract
This paper presents a simulation model of the operations in the Labor and Delivery Rooms at Jackson Memorial Hospital. A thorough analysis of the contents of hospital's databases revealed that although there is a significant amount of data, some of it is not usable. Nonetheless, with the available data, it was possible to establish relatively good inputs for the simulation model. Furthermore, it was possible to do a correlation analysis to determine which factors affect the procedure service times in the OR and Recovery areas. The simulation model has yielded results to improve doctor scheduling and better staffing levels.
