Abstract :
Architecture, medical planning and the actual physical implementation of the facilities where care is rendered is often a source of great trepidation on the part of those who actually render care. Mistakes in this arena are very expensive and can hamper operations for years to come. Simulation is a tool that, though rarely used, can be very valuable in helping to generate correct architectural decisions
