Giving advance notice about the patient transfer

I'm wondering if the Flexsim program offers a feature where, when assigning a transfer request to a transfer agent, the medical team at the transfer departure location receives advance notice about the patient transfer preparation, allowing them to complete the preparation before the transfer agent arrives at the desired time for the transfer.

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.2.4

Hey @Amy, that is a possibility in FlexSim. One way to accomplish this is using Process Flow. You can have an activity that listens for a certain action to occur to spawn a token. That token can then run through a set of logical steps controlling the preparation team so it can happen asynchronously.

Thank you for your answer @Kavika F.

I am not sure how to use the process flow in FlexSim HC.
Can you give me an example?

Hey @Amy, if you haven't already, I think it would be helpful to go through the HC tutorial. It will help you understand some of the basics of HC Process Flow.

Here's an example that may demonstrate what I mean.

hc-example.fsm

It includes a process flow where I added a "Split" activity when a patient gets in line. While they're in line to check-in, another token gets created to alert the Tech to prep the Linac machine.
