Passing an object (medication) from a Staff to a Patient

Hi,

I would like to have an MD pass medication to a patient. It seems that the only way for "Load"/"Unload" to work is for the "Create Object" event to be in the same stack of processflow events as the person taking the medication.

I have made a workaround where the MD passes the object to a queue, where it is destroyed, and instantaneously a new object is created in the patient flow.

Is there a proper way to do this? File attached:

passmedication.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 20.1.3

flexsim 20.1.3 healthcare staff patient patient activity

There are many ways to model this. If the visual of the medicine is not important, you can just put in a delay to represent the passing of the medicine to the patient. I have done a model in using HC module. Please check.

Thanks David! The process flow helped! Moving the object to a patient as destination andsplitting the tokens seems to be very elegant. Thanks again.

@david.chan Nice demo Thanks. What does the Question Mark do in the "Process Medicine" Activity patient.Staff?

It's allowing the code to return a null if the label Staff doesn't exist on the patient, without generating an exception.
