Sickbed arrangement is an important part of daily management in the hospital. Since the service time for different type of patients varies, the queuing system here, with multi-random input flow, can not be solved accurately by using classical queuing theory. Based on the analysis of patient information, we apply the simulation method into the sickbed arrangement system, and take the average waiting time, sickbed turnover times and so on as indexes which can reflect the service efficiency of hospital. Then we focus on the effect on the service efficiency of hospital while amending the queuing rule. In a word, our research provides a scientific direction for sickbed arrangement.
