Health Simulation Modelling

Health policy and health industry decisions are often made without appropriate consideration of the uncertainties involved. Whether decisions are made at governmental level or by a hospital administrator, those charged with the responsibility of making decisions may improve their likelihood of success by undertaking simulation modelling.

Simulation modelling allows decision makers to make decisions based on a thorough analysis of their available information and choices. 

Adaptive Care Systems and Evans & Peck are skilled in the leading simulation modelling approaches and techniques, including:

• Agent based modelling

• Discrete event modelling

• System dynamics modelling

• Hybrid modelling (combination of above approaches)

• Optimisation

• Executive Dashboards
