Add to ORKGAbstract- Healthcare systems differ intrinsically from manufac-turing systems. As such, they require a distinct modeling ap-proach. In this article, we show how to construct a queueing net-work of a general class of healthcare systems. In order to analyze such networks, we use the parametric decomposition approach. Us-ing this approach the network is decomposed into a set of single queueing systems which can be analyzed separately. Afterwards, results of these single queueing systems can be aggregated and gen-eral performance measures of the queueing network are obtained. In addition, we develop new expressions to assess the impact of ser-vice outages and use the queueing network to approximate patient flow times and to evaluate a number of...
