Abstract
The study of emergency services management within hospitals typically requires an effective manipulation and capitalizing of the knowledge. To manipulate and capitalize management strategies, an agile approach of decision making to address massive crowding in emergency department considering constraints such as human resources, costs, patient cases prioritization, capacity and logistics. We inspired from biological immune defense system to design piloting emergency system, basically, the artificial immune system (SIA). The system provides an intelligent assistance to hospital decision-makers to adjust their supplying strategies, and provide relevant traces from previous gathering information assisting hospital staff, facing the massive patient flow, to execute an efficient solution, excellently. In fact, we made a mixture of two related SIA techniques; the negative selection and the clonal selection. The system agility form is gained throughout adopting the approach of components. This paper will focus on the patient overcrowdings dilemmas, raising the reception capacities articulating on coordination networks amid regional hospitals, and simultaneously conserving the safety of the hospitalizing people in every hospital. The main purpose is to decreasing the tension within the emergency department and supplying hospital chiefs working under stress.
