Rutgers simulation reduces blood cancer clinic wait times

New Rutgers research suggests that much of the seemingly endless waiting for complex medical care can be engineered away by re-creating operations inside a computer and testing countless possible improvements. The study in the Annals of Operations Research explains how researchers from Rutgers Cancer Institute and Rutgers Business School built a working computer simulation of the institute's blood cancer clinic and used it to identify and fix bottlenecks that kept patients waiting up to three hours between check-in and treatment.
