The hospital management has heard of decision support systems (DSS). They have noticed complaints that people are waiting too long in the emergency ward. They would like to know more about a DSS that would incorporate a simulation model of the emergency facilities. In a clear explanation, tell them:
1)What kind of work would need to be done to build a simulation model of the emergency ward and demonstrate it in this type of a DSS model? Identify the variables and the data fields that you would consider building into this type of DSS model
2)How could they use this DSS with the simulation model for analyzing wait times in the emergency ward? How would such a DSS help them? What types of decisions or queries would you incorporate in the design of the DSS model that are related to this problem?
