A modeling methodology and its application to the design of decision-making aid tools dedicated to the hospital systems

Abstract

In this paper, we present a modeling methodology for the hospital systems. This methodology has been developed to design decision making aid tools based on various resolution methods (mathematical formalization, simulation, etc.), which all start by the formalization of a knowledge model (knowledge formalization) related to the studied system. We present the different steps to follow from the knowledge model to the creation of decision making aid tools, along with two applications concerning a surgical unit and an obstetrical unit.
