A simulation of a hospital emergency call system using SLAMII

Article Abstract:

The main purpose of this system is to develop a simulation model as well as to perform an analysis of hospital resources including sick beds, ambulances, and ambulances of Police Rescue Centers called by 119, the emergency telephone number. Here, the key items we are going to analyze include the number of sick beds and ambulances, the rate of use of sick beds and ambulances, time of each ambulance on duty, and delay time (from calling ambulances to the arrival at hospitals) for an emergency call. With this system, we can assist the related personnel in making a complete programming such that all resources can be employed both efficiently and sufficiently. By using SLAMII, we can obtain the minimum number of sick beds and ambulances required to sustain the indispensable requirements under the existing and abnormal conditions. At the same time, we can observe the delay time for an emergency call and the rate of use of sick beds and ambulances within the limited availability of sick beds and ambulances.

Bringing experimental learning to economics: an illustration with a user-friendly simulation laboratory on issues of economic development

Article Abstract:

This paper suggests that the possibility to experiment with relationships using system dynamics should lend the method easily to introducing experimental learning in economics and, possibly, also other social science disciplines. This would, however, require modifying teaching formats and creating new text materials and user-friendly computer programs incorporating the possibility to assemble hypothesized relationships by students with little computer or mathematical expertise. The paper reports work in progress towards the development of a simulation laboratory consisting of a text and a user-friendly simulation program on issues of economic development as an example of the materials needed for integrating practicum with teaching.
