Hello
In the Arrivals section can I define that a percentage of patients are missing or define that the same patient returns after 6 months, for example?
Thanks you so much

Setting a repeat interval of half a year in the arrival schedule is probably not an option for several reasons I would guess (Daily/Weekly schedule is used instead, not all patients should return, information about them should be kept, etc).
My suggestion would be to create a token in the arrival flow (using "Create Tokens" activity), copy important information of patient to it, have it create a new patient after half a year and paste the information onto that "new" patient".
Attached is a simple example model. (With only one week of wait time before a patient is recreated
The "Debug Stop" automatically pauses the model when a patient was recreated.)
