It is shown that a healthcare system can be constructed by different modules whose inputs and outputs are connected according to their geographical location. Each module can be modeled in two phases: (1) obtain the sequences of treatments and cares received by a patient in the case of a particular disease/condition, and (2) add the resources necessary to perform the previous sequences. The global model is obtained by fusion the inputs and outputs of the modules and by adding information on the patients. The constructed modules together with the resources are Petri nets belonging to a new subclass called healthcare Petri nets that is proved to have equivalent behavior with (Formula presented.) nets, a well-known class of Resource Allocation Systems. This allows us to apply the structural results already existing in the literature for (Formula presented.) to the context of healthcare systems. In order to illustrate the results, a case study of a public healthcare area in Zaragoza is considered as a use case. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/CICYT-FEDER/DPI2014-57252-R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/CICYT-FEDER/TIN2013-40809-R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/T27 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/T93 info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 2.519 2018 OPERATIONS RESEARCH & MANAGEMENT SCIENCE 27 / 84 = 0.321 2018 Q2 T1 ENGINEERING, MANUFACTURING 22 / 49 = 0.449 2018 Q2 T2 1.326 2018 Management Science and Operations Research 2018 Q1 Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering 2018 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Mahulea, L.
