Multi Patients At Same Time?

Hi Team,

I am building a flow where MD can handle 2 patient at a time. I am building it using process flow. I tried to increase capacity of 3D object to 2 but it is not working.

How can I achieve it with easy scalability?

2PatientsAtSameTime.fsm

Thank you!

That capacity is left over from the taskexecuter standard FlexSim properties which the People::Staff class inherits, and is used when a task executer looks at task sequences to see how many items it can carry.

What your suggesting sounds like it might need a great deal of care to ensure the process doesn't assume the staff location is always with the patient and to coordinate parallel tasks.

If they truly can handle two at once no matter the task and location then the easiest solution would be to add a another member of staff to perform the same function.

In regular (non-People related) process flows I would say push the same resource to a list twice (making sure that duplicates are allowed).

Hi @Jason Lightfoot,

I don't understand your point.

Can you help me with working model if possible?

Thank you!

Hmm.. I made 4 points:
  • What capacity is used for
  • Scepticism about an MD being able to handle two patients at once
  • The simplest workaround
  • What you could do using lists instead of Staff as an alternative method

What are you struggling with?

Hi @Jason Lightfoot,

I don't understand how can I use list instead of Staff.

Can you make changes in attached model for the same?

Thank you!
