Fig. 6: 30-day rolling average of orders leaving the Completed state
From: A simulation framework for evaluating electronic order workflows in integrated health records
Two scenarios are simulated: 2000_capacity_baseline, in which transition probabilities and service times remained constant, and 2000_capacity_prob_trans_change, where the probability of transitioning from Ready directly to Completed is reduced to restrict shortcut to completion after the sixth simulation month. At the end of the first simulation year, the maximum processing time on the InProgress → Completed transition is capped at 720 hours to simulate a service level guarantee.
