“…Additionally, development of a DES model might sometimes be quicker for a larger decision problem, because of the so-called 'curse of dimensionality'. 52 To represent very large decision problems, with multiple subgroups of patients and treatment pathways, aggregate models can require a huge number of health states. For example, Weinstein and colleagues' CHD policy model stratified patients into 5400 different subgroups, on the basis of differing risk factors.…”

“…Barton and colleagues 105 and Cooper and colleagues 106 provide overviews of the reasons for selecting between the different modelling techniques. They advocate the use of decision trees and Markov chains where possible, and recommend that discrete event simulation (DES) be used if the interaction between individuals or between individuals and the environment is important.…”

HTAThe effectiveness and costeffectiveness of behavioural interventions for the prevention of sexually transmitted infections in young people aged 13-19: a systematic review and economic evaluation NIHR Health Technology Assessment programmeT he Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that the...

In health care, Brailsford (2007) discusses issues relating to advances and challenges in simulation and health care, Eldabi et al (2007) consider the future of the area against past research , Cooper et al (2007) review the range of possible modelling techniques that can be used in this area, and Jun et al (1999) review discrete-event simulation in health care clinics. In a study of how organisms function on the molecular level in relation to gene expression, de Jong (2002) reviews formalisms that have been employed in mathematical biology and bioinformatics to describe genetic regulatory systems and how these formalisms have been used in the simulation modelling of the behavior of actual regulatory systems.…”

Simulation modelling is a fascinating research field. The techniques and tools of simulation modelling have been used to research and investigate the behaviour of various systems in a wide range of areas such as commerce, computer networks, defence, health, manufacturing and transportation. Indeed, the study of the use of these techniques and tools, and the development of new forms of these, are a rich source of research in their own right. Simulation modelling is about to reach the 50th anniversary of the development of GSP (General Simulation Program), the first simulation modelling language (Tocher and Owen, 1960). There have been several historical accounts of simulation modelling research. To complement these, we have performed a review of the recent history of simulation modelling. This study targeted three leading journals dedicated to this field. These are the ACM Transactions of Modeling and Computer Simulation, Simulation: Transactions of The Society for Modeling and Simulation International and Simulation Modelling Practice and Theory (formerly Simulation Practice and Theory). The study covered the first 6 years of this century (2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005) and included 576 papers. The key observation of this work was the relative lack of 'real world' involvement in simulation modelling research and an even greater lack of evidence of 'real world' benefit, arguably very alarming outcomes for an applied field. To further investigate this observation two additional surveys were carried out, one to study if real world papers appeared in the more widely known OR/MS literature (837 papers in 12 journals) and one to study if such papers appeared in Manufacturing and Logistics, an application area closely associated with simulation modelling (1077 papers in 10 journals). The results of these surveys confirmed our observations. We ask if this is the natural evolution of a field that has existed for half a century or an indication of a worrying problem? This paper reports on our findings and discusses whether or not simulation modelling research urgently needs to face a 'reality check.'
