| Abstract | The COVID-19 pandemic revealed fundamental limitations in Electronic Medical Record (EMR) ingestion platforms that rely on batch-oriented processing and first-in-first-out (FIFO) scheduling. This paper presents a priority-aware EMR ingestion framework and evaluates multiple scheduling strategies through extensive simulation and queueing-theoretic analysis. We study four approaches: FIFO, strict priority, priority with aging, and adaptive weighted scheduling. Analytical modeling based on M/G/1 priority queues is combined with numerical simulations to quantify tail latency, throughput, and starvation behavior. Results show that priority-aware scheduling with aging reduces high-urgency tail latency by 40–70% under peak load while preserving throughput within 2–6% of FIFO. This study establishes priority semantics as a foundational design principle for next-generation healthcare data pipelines. |
