<p>Proper Triage queuing system’s modeling and performance analysis is important components of Customers waiting time reduction and Hospital quality improvement. This paper develop A Cumulative Approach Modeling Technique and shows how to apply and model queuing system on Hospital Triage queuing network composed of one stations with two servers.
