Research Abstract

This study aimed to construct a method for analysis of optimization in outpatient chemotherapy unit. System simulation which had been used in product management was applied for medical service management. Computer simulation was conducted to diagnose optimal human resources, number of patient for medical treatment per day, patient appointment, and so forth. The result showed the optimal capacity of treatment would be assumed to be between 25 and 30 cases with 3 nurses in a unit which had 10 beds, from the view of bed utilization, nurse utilization and patient waiting time.It is available for analysis of optimization that outcome indicator are shown in various condition by using computer simulation.
