Résumé
The Canadian health care system needs to deal with serious high wait times problems and overcrowding in the emergency departments. Indeed, it may happen that a patient has to wait up to three hours before being seen by a physician.This Master's Thesis aims to contribute to a solution by providing a simulation model and a visualization tool. The former gives the ability to catch more information than what is already recorded by the medical staff and allows to answer more questions asked by the management staff of the hospital. The latter, the visualization tool, gives the possibility to have a global view of the patient flow. This flow concerns patients in the emergency department and in the whole hospital. Getting this view allows the managers to have a real time and dynamic feedback of what is going on in the hospital.
