“…There is much discussion on the use and potential use of simulation in health with applications ranging across planning, scheduling, reorganisation and management of healthcare and hospital services, communicable diseases, bio-terrorism, screening, costs of illness, economic evaluation (comparing alternative healthcare interventions), policy and strategy evaluation, and performance modelling (Fone et al, 2003;Mustafee et al, 2010;Günal and Pidd, 2010).
