摘要

We present an Agent-Based Modelling Tool (ABMT) for scheduling patients at a diagnostic imaging facility. The ABMT accommodates multiple diagnostic imaging devices, a variety of patient classes, and an uneven distribution of server availability. The tool was tested using data and expertise from a hospital in Ontario, Canada. We show that the tool was able to identify a previously undetected increase in patient arrivals, establishing its effectiveness as a management tool.
