摘要：
A capacity planning simulation program was developed to assist in the management of the diagnostic nuclear medicine service in a large teaching hospital in the north of England. The application is configurable and could be applied to the modelling and simulation of other services. The aim was to provide a tool for managers to make informed decisions about resource utilisation with the objective of reducing waiting times for patients requiring the service. It has also been used to estimate the changes in work patterns necessary if the service is expanded. The paper describes the architecture of the application, its modes of operation and presents a preliminary study. An outline of future development is given.
