Modeling using Discrete Event Simulation: A Report of the ISPOR-SMDM Modeling Good Research Practices Task Force-4

Abstract: Discrete event simulation (DES) is a form of computer-based modeling that provides an intuitive and flexible approach to representing complex systems. It has been used in a wide range of health care applications. Most early applications involved analyses of systems with constrained resources, where the general aim was to improve the organization of delivered services. More recently, DES has increasingly been applied to evaluate specific technologies in the context of health technology assessment. The aim of th… Show more

“…DES was developed in the 1960s, but its application to economic evaluations started to emerge only in the last decade [40][41][42]. DES is based on the concepts of entities (analogous to agents in ABMs), attributes, queues and resources.…”

“…In particular, DES models allow explicit incorporation of resource constraints (which may result in delays if the resources are not available). It should be noted that both these techniques are being increasingly used for health technology assessment [19][20][21].…”
