Emergency Patient's Arrivals Management Based on IoT and Discrete Simulation Using ARENA

The healthcare ecosystem is now in a state of flux. Social, economic pressures beside demographic changes disrupt the balance of the health facilities. According to the Organization for Cooperation and Economic Development (OECD, 2004), “the last thirty years have been a period of change and of expansion for health systems”. Currently, the major problem remains about controlling the ever-increasing health expenditures. Thus, Hospitals are faced with a triple constraint: cost, time and quality.
