摘要

Obviously, the questions we have raised in the preceding two paragraphs are not easy to answer. First of all, for obvious reasons, it is simply not possible to perform repeated experimentswiththeactualsystem, collectdata, andreachconclusions. Second, theproblem tself is hugely complicated and therefore it does not lend itself easily to mathematical analysis. We believe that simulation would be an essential tool for the analysis of such complex systems. However, simulation would be most useful if there is a hypothesis to test. Therefore, webelievethattheidealapproachtoinvestigatecomplexproblemssuchaspatient triage is to first use simple mathematical models that capture the essence of the problem and generate some insights from these models. The generality of these insights then needs to be tested using extensive simulation models. We consider three di?erent single-server queueing models each di?ering in terms of the patientarrivalprocessandwaitingcostsassumed. ModelsIandIIIconsiderascenariowhere new patients will arrive (or be transported) to a hospital over a very long time horizon as a result of a major attack or a series of attacks. Model II considers a scenario where as a result of a single incident, there are a finite number of patients waiting for treatment. In Section 2, we describe our decision model for patient classification. In Sections 3, 4, and 5, we present some of our results for Models I, II, and III, respectively.
