Abstract
The nosocomial infection is a special kind of infection
that is caused by microorganisms acquired inside a hospital. In the
daily care process of an emergency department, the interactions
between patients and sanitary staff create the environment for the
transmission of such microorganisms. Rates of morbility and
mortality due to nosocomial infections areimportant indicators of the
quality of hospital work. In this research, we use Agent Based
Modeling and Simulation techniques to build a model of Methicillinresistant
Staphylococcus Aureus propagation based on an Emergency
Department Simulator which has been tested and validated
previously. The model obtained will allow us to build a contact
propagation simulator that enables the construction of virtual
environments with theaim of analyzing how the prevention policies
affect the rate of propagation of nosocomial infection
