Documentation and tools that show how the simulation harness actually gets built and tuned — not just the results it produces.

ED Simulation Calibration Input Sheet

This is the actual data-collection instrument used to tune the simulation harness to a specific hospital’s ED — the tool that replaces generic placeholder assumptions with a facility’s real numbers: patient volume, acuity mix, staffing, bed counts, and more. It’s the concrete mechanism behind “tune the harness to your ED,” not just a description of it.

ED Simulation Model — Technical Specification

A 15-page walkthrough of how the simulation harness is actually built in ProcessModel 7: the full patient path from arrival and ESI triage through fast track, diagnostics, treatment, and boarding, with the action-logic code behind each step, the outputs the model measures, and how what-if scenarios are tested. Written for hospital operations and finance leaders who want to see what sits under the results, and for technical reviewers who want to check the logic. Because it contains the model’s working code, the document is password protected. Email Patrick to request access.
