Two sequences going on at the same time?

is it possible to implement several timeline sequences for each model entity?

For example, a patient goes through both a physical movement and a service movement, and they are not necessarily correlated. I have the timestamps for both movements.

A patient could have a physical route of 

(start in bed1 @ 4pm -> move to bed 2 @ 5pm -> move to bed1 @ 6pm -> exit hospital @ 6:30pm)

as well as a "service" route of 

(start in waiting mode @ 4pm -> nurse1 checks for 20 minutes @ 4:30pm -> nurse2 checks for 10 minutes @ 5:10pm -> doctor checks for 3 minutes @ 5:30pm -> exit hospital @ 6:30pm).

I know how to implement the physical route by using sequence tables but what about incorporating the service route into the patient?

Right so this is something that I have found Simio does really well...

What you are after are list state variables...They work like PLCs...i.e....each variable accounts for each second of the simulation run time. The idea is to just through the entity into different states, and Simio will automatically record all the output statistics.

This is similar to the resource state variable of a server.
