Abstract

Agent-based modeling and simulation is a promising technique utilized to study and simulate interdependencies of complex infrastructures. This technique has two relevant properties which could be exploited in the field of healthcare, namely, the re-use of simulation models and the sharing of expertise. This research proposes a methodology to exploit the benefits of multi-agent systems with respect to the study of interdependencies between rehabilitation center personnel. The design procedure began by proposing an architectural layout which can best facilitate overall patient movement and improve healthcare services provided. Then, a simulation of the various personnel, along with the patients, was analyzed and implemented, using NetLogo, an agent-based simulation engine and environment. The simulation results showed how multi-agent systems could shed light on interdependent system performance and assist in their quantification. These results could then be used to make recommendations concerning the ideal number of personnel to be allocated to the rehabilitation center, thus ensuring its maximum performance.
