Healthcare process simulation for smoother patient flow

Model how patients move through your facility, find where care backs up, and prove the fix before you change a single shift or open a single bed.

The approach

See the process clearly, then prove what to fix

Care delivery is a process, and like every process it hides its real constraint. A clinic that looks short on rooms may be short on the right staff at the right hour. An emergency department that feels overwhelmed may be held up by a single downstream step. ProcessModel builds a working model of patient flow so you can see where the time and the queues actually go, test a change safely with discrete event simulation, and carry the proof into a room of clinicians and administrators. Teams use it for healthcare process improvement projects grounded in Lean Six Sigma and DMAIC, where the model settles the debate before anyone commits to a costly change.

What you can model

What you can model in healthcare

A working model of the work, run as a real simulation, so the real constraint is obvious.

    Patient flow end to end

    Map the full journey from arrival to discharge, then watch real arrivals, queues, and variability play out so the flow comes to life and the numbers reflect reality.

    Emergency department and triage

    Test triage rules, fast-track lanes, and coverage against demand that surges by hour and day, and see where patients wait before they are seen.

    Bed and capacity planning

    Plan bed capacity against admissions and length of stay, and find the staffing and discharge changes that free capacity without adding beds.

    Operating room scheduling

    Try block schedules, sequencing, and turnover times, and measure utilization and overtime before you publish a new schedule.

    Staffing and shift design

    Size nursing and support staff with shift presets or custom schedules, breaks, and priorities, and match coverage to demand across the day.

    Wait-time and length-of-stay reduction

    Find the real bottleneck with Impact Analysis, then prove that a targeted change lowers wait time and length of stay before it reaches the floor.

Customer stories

Teams that model first, change once

Once we discovered ProcessModel, we knew we had the right package. The package itself is powerful and affordable.

I love ProcessModel and I already can envision so many applications in my current work.
