Webinar: Predicting Biomechanical Load, Musculoskeletal Disorder Risk, and Quality of Care in Nursing During COVID and Non-COVID Scenarios Using Discrete Event Simulation
July 13, 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
July 13, 2022 | 12:00 to 1:00 PM EDT
Discrete Event Simulation (DES) is an operations research tool that can represent complex systems at a discrete set of points. This webinar presents the results of a study where DES was used to simulate the process of care delivery from a nurse’s perspective on a task-by-task basis to understand both the demands on the nurse, the delivery of care to the patients over the course of an entire shift, and the implications for musculoskeletal disorders.
