Since there are no objects that measure throughput of patients in the HC environment I'm going to give you an option that uses the statistics collectors that are the data source for all the Healthcare chart templates in the library.

You are going to start with a "Model Throughput" chart under the "People" section of the dashbboard library panel. Then, add a Partition under the chart properties that uses a "Custom expression". Notice in that menu there are a couple of time based ways of breaking out the data, like hour of the day and day of the week that are fairly common. Unfortunately there isn't a built in option to break out data by weeks so I'll show you how to do that.

Click on the Toolbox tab, click the button and find the "User Command" option under the "Modeling Logic" section. Name the command ByWeek in the "Name" field then define the command's parameters in the Parameter field to say (double dateTime). include the parentheses.

It should look like this:

Now Click on the button on the "Code" field and copy this code into the window:

/**Custom Code*/
DateTime dt = DateTime(param(1));
 
DateTime duration = dt - Model.startDateTime;
return Math.floor(duration.totalDays / 7) + 1;

And click OK on that window and close the user command window.

Now we are going to go back to your chart template and in the expression field for your partition type:

ByWeek(Time)

This will look at the Time column that the statistics collector has and figure what week it is in your model and patients that leave in that week will be counted towards that week’s throughput.

Depending on the chart style you chose it wil either add a bar for each new week or a row in the table display.
