Sim Advantage™ Operational Systems Simulation

"It’s hard to make a move when you don’t know what works."

At Echo Consulting Group, we simulate your specific clinic environment using operational systems simulation virtual model to demonstrate and test statistically and accurately what will happen when changes are made in your real environment. With a 95% confidence interval in your results from systems and processes simulation modeling, you can rest assured you’re making a sound decision before you invest in the time, capital and personnel necessary to implement change in your departmental design. Sim Advantage™ answers the "what ifs" and "what’s next". What if volume increases by 5%? What if we had more beds? What if chest pain patients had dedicated beds?

About Computer Operational Systems Simulation

Computer simulation modeling is a tool used to predict outcomes from systems influenced by multiple complex variables. Hospital departments like the emergency department, urgent care, operating room, telemetry unit, are good examples of these systems. Factors influencing hospital and emergency department information system and processes are so complex in number and variability that specific outcomes are not readily predictable without computer aided analysis.

Accurate operational systems simulation can create reliable, reproducible outcomes so you can explore changes to the information system and process, and view the potential outcomes without suffering the "real-life" consequences of making the wrong choices for your emergency department design and process.
