Abstract: At present, most hospitals are facing the situation of overcrowding, and how to speed up the patient's medical service speed is an urgent problem. In order to solve the problem of long waiting time and low utilization rate of medical resources in outpatient, a priority scheduling algorithm based on bottleneck analysis in complex network is proposed. According to the patients' tasks, the algorithm sets up two graphs of medical service and medical resources, and projects it into a complex network model of medical resources, considering the network characteristics such as betweenness, network efficiency, medical service and medical resource characteristics, the bottleneck of medical resources is calculated.Then, bottleneck medical resources and medical services related to bottleneck resources are determined based on bottleneck analysis. Finally, the patient scheduling is carried out according to the bottleneck priority rules. The rationality and superiority of the model and algorithm presented in this paper are verified by the example of an outpatient clinic in a certain hospital.
