Abstract:

The quality of patients care delivery is thought to be strongly affected by the physicians’ workload. In this study we present an Agent-Based model of the processes during a typical working day. We simulated the current scenario and a possible scenario concerning the introduction of a second ambulatory as a potential improvement in the center organization. Our results validated the reliability of the model and showed that the introduction of a second ambulatory averagely reduces the daily physician’ workload.
