Multiple Patients in a Bed

Hi There,

I am working on a model that has a multi location which is fed by multiple queues which differ by patient priority. I just finally got the priority to work but now I am seeing multiple patients grab a single bed even after it is in use. Has anyone ever seen this before? What can I do to fix this?

I'm not sure why this is the case, but it seems to be the use of patient.BedPriority for the location resource's priority. If you type in a value like you did for the nurses, you get 1 patient per bed again. As far as I knew that's supposed to be OK to do though so we will need to look into that..

Okay sounds great. Can you please let me know via here when you figure it out?

It appears to be the zero values for the BedPriority labels. Which is weird because in the documentation and in training 0 is included in the tier 1 level of priorities.


To resolve you will need to make sure your BedPriority calculation doesn't hit zero, like using a Math.max() expression to either return your BedPriority value or 1.

It seems to still be outputting a priority of 0 even with the max function. Any ideas there?

Hello @Ashlee W,

I am not sure why this happened in the first place but it stopped occurring when I reconnected the acquire activity to the resource. Are you able to recreate this issue?

Nevermind. When I reset the model it started having the same problem again.
