COVID-19 Discrete Event Computer Simulation example




How Many COVID-19 Patients Can My Hospital Handle?

Computer Simulation can tell you!!!

Back in 2020 I did a Discrete Event Computer Simulation for HonorHealth to help them understand at what point each of their 6 Hospitals would "Max Out" of COVID-19 patients, why that was, and tell them when each hospital would have to start transferring patients to other hospitals. 

Despite popular belief....ICU's were not always the reason (Although for most Hospitals it is true, but this isn't true for all Hospitals)!!!

This is what makes Discrete Event Computer Simulation so much more powerful than doing an analysis using spreadsheets, or making your best guess.

This Presentation (below) was included in a webinar for Catalysis in March of 2021.
