“…One of the main areas of application of hybrid M&S was found to be healthcare [61]. A combination of multiple simulation techniques (e.g., SD, ABM, DES, and social network analysis) has been employed to investigate a range of complex health-related issues and systems, such as disease prevention and care management [43,[64][65][66], projection of disease burden [67], health workforce dynamics [68], and immunoepidemiology of infectious diseases [69]. Reflecting the diversity in the mixing of different methods in simulation studies, Mustafee et al presented a conceptual classification of hybrid M&S and discussed innovation in the M&S field by highlighting hybrid modeling [70][71][72].…”
