Modeling the activities of medical organizations in the evacuation direction
Increasingly, in various spheres of activity, specialists of management bodies use simulation tools to optimize the work of medical organizations of different levels and directions. It should be noted that in the available literature no information was found on the use of the described method for modeling the process of providing medical care simultaneously in several objects of the medical service with a description of their interaction. Simulation modeling makes it possible to assess the load both on individual stages and on the entire evacuation direction before the direct involvement of the forces and means of the medical service. The aim of the study was to create a system for analyzing and visualizing data used to optimize decision-making on the distribution of forces and means of the medical service in the evacuation direction using simulation modeling. We used literature data, schemes for deploying the stages of medical evacuation, timing of treatment and evacuation measures, the power and structure of the flows of the wounded and sick. Simulation modeling was carried out in the Anylogic software. The discrete-event model is built on the basis of the mathematical apparatus and calculation tasks that are used to assess the time indicators of the implementation of medical and evacuation measures. These include such parameters as the start time of medical care, the average waiting time for the provision of medical care to the wounded and sick in the queue, and other parameters. The simulation model makes it possible to display information about the load on individual units or stages, which makes it possible to quickly assess the total load on the direction and make a decision on the transfer of forces and means of the medical service to a more loaded section of the evacuation direction. The introduction of simulation modeling into the activities of the medical service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will make it possible to efficiently control the quality of medical and evacuation measures in the entire evacuation direction (4 figures, 1 table, bibliography: 15 refs).
