"Introduction to Simulation Modeling in Healthcare using ExtendSim"

This is an introductory hand-on tutorial on using ExtendSim to build simulation models for studying capacity issues in the healthcare industry. In this hands-on tutorial the students will build a simple Emergency Department simulation model to study the proper quantity of registration stations and treatment rooms and see why a discrete event simulation model is an appropriate tool to study this type of problem.
