The phenomenon of hospital queuing and crowding is particularly serious in provincial and municipal third grade hospitals, which greatly restricts the quality and efficiency of medical system service. Therefore, based on DES simulation modeling theory, a simulation optimization method of medical service system is proposed. This project takes the orthopedic clinic service of the first affiliated hospital of University of South China in Hengyang (provincial third grade hospital) as the research object. Observation and investigation is performed on its random characteristics. It uses the FLEXSIM software to establish the simulation model of the medical DES, performs the simulation process with actual data, and carries out the continuous dynamic analysis and optimization according to the simulation system obtained from the quantitative data, so as to improve the performance of the system.
