摘　　要：Leveraging digital technology for effective decision making requires tools that can comprehend detailed complex process of healthcare organizations. Considering all dimensions, simulation is applicable in many ways throughout the healthcare system due to its ability to capture and mimic detail complexity in clinical operations decisions. Healthcare simulation not only helps ensure that providing services of the highest quality, but simulation ultimately increases the ability of following best practices, quality improvement, and risk management activities. Moreover, this representation of healthcare system has become a primary tool by which increased patient safety can be integrated and facilitated into clinical practices. This article presents a simulation model for healthcare outpatient clinics. This model aims to aid in setting up management guidelines and propose procedure to improve the operation of the clinics and to optimize the performance of such dynamic healthcare clinic. Model optimization is used to find out the optimal staff as resources, which includes physician, nurses, and clinics minimize patient length of stay and smooth patient flow.Leveraging digital technology for effective decision making requires tools that can comprehend detailed complex process of healthcare organizations.
