Modelling and Simulation Techniques for Supporting Healthcare Decision Making - A Selection Framework

The development of this workbook has been led by a team of researchers from five UK universities with a grant from the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). They are investigating the use of modelling and simulation in healthcare as part of the RIGHT (Research Into Global Healthcare Tools) project. The workbook was developed following an extensive review of literature on the application of modelling and simulation in healthcare and other safety-critical industries, supplemented by the teams extensive expertise of modelling and simulation in healthcare. In order to produce this summary guide, thousands of articles were categorised according to the techniques used, where they were used, and with what resources.

This workbook is intended to provide guidance for people who are making decisions in healthcare. It is aimed at anyone who wants to find out more about different modelling and simulation techniques what they are, when to apply them, and what resources are required to use them. It will not only help decision makers commission more appropriate modelling work, but also assist professional modellers and business consultants to expand their modelling repertoire in order to meet the diverse needs of their clients.
