Özet

Managing the emergency service, including many complexities, is one of the main problems for hospitals. A simulation that is implemented health systems and medical education promote optimized and idealized function to systems. It provides effectiveness, efficiency, and equity to the health care system. In this study, the health systems problems and simulation methods were defined, how simulation adds value in healthcare clarified, challenges and issues examined by future perspectives. Optimization parameters used in the emergency department of healthcare are highlighted in all areas of the health system. In order to do those one hundred thirtyfive studies were examined after removing duplicates in two hundred ten research and review articles. In addition, the main problems faced in solving the problem and areas that need to be improved are also discussed. Based on the research carried out, it can be concluded that simulation is a crucial methodology for patient care infrastructures and emergency service applications by providing an interdisciplinary framework
