CBR METHODOLOGY DEVELOPMENT

Although there exists a plethora of available solutions, techniques to address the
complexity of the healthcare industry and its many problems, this study will only focus
on Emergency Departments (ED) and the use of Discrete Event Simulation (DES)
technique.

Constructing the Case-Base

This initial step in constructing the case base for this study, involved searching the
literature, collecting and analyzing suitable Emergency Departments’ operations related
cases (see Table 1).
