Starting Track Based on Next Activity

I'm trying to find the best way to start a track based on the next activity. I'm building a pretty big model that I've imported multiple patient tracks into. These tracks consist of a Lab visit, DI visit, etc. I want to build a general track which most patients follow up to a certain activity (Let's say up to Activity 50). Once the general track reaches Activity 50, I want to be able to start a new track on that patient (Lab or DI, etc) based on where the patient should go next, since each of those tracks have their own set of activities. This prevents a huge activity list for 1 track. I couldn't find anything but is there an easy way to start a completely new track for a patient that is on a current track? The other option is to just rebuild the master track that includes the other tracks but that will include a ton of tedious work that has already been done.

Unfortunately, this is a limitation of the patient track system in FlexSim HC 5 and there isn't really a way to have the patient switch tracks.

This is something that is easier to do (and/or less necessary) in FlexSim HC 2019 with its visual, Process Flow based track logic.

So HC 2019 is already available. You just need to download FlexSim 2019 Update 1 and then enter the Healthcare environment (the Healthcare tutorial in the user manual shows you how to do this). HC 5 licenses should upgrade just fine to a 19.1 license.

We're starting to invite interested healthcare users to use it now, but we're not making the full announcement until we release 2019 Update 2 in September.

If you're interested in using it or just trying it out feel free to download it from flexsim.com. Let me know if you have any questions or issues.
