Doctor to be available for final decision making

Hi there,

How we can let the patient acquire a physician during a down behavior when needed? For example, the patient will be visited by the doctor and after that doctor will be transitioned to the off-schedule hours (to minimize the total idle hours during lab tests when we do not need the doctor) but we need the same doctor for final disposition.


Please see the attached model as a simple example.


Test_Off_Shift_Staff_Behaviour_5.fsm

If you're making the doctor go off shift, but you want them to be able to come back on in the middle you need to make the break preemptable. For example, I duplicated the Off Schedule down behavior and changed these settings to make the break preemptable:

@Matthew Gillespie Got it, Thanks! What does it mean when you changed priority from 190 to 90? Or how do the priority levels affect the down behaviors?

It means that the operator will only be preempted by tasks with priority higher than 90 - so the actual number should be chosen based on the priority of other tasks in the system.

@Maryam H2 @Jason Lightfoot

Requests with a higher priority tier can preempt those in a lower tier. 90 is in tier 1 (0-99) and 190 is in tier 2 (100-199).

See https://docs.flexsim.com/en/22.0/ModelLogic/AdditionalConcepts/StaffResourcePriorities/StaffResourcePriorities.html for more information.
