Systems modelling for improving health care

Systems modelling for improving health care
Systems modelling for improving health care
The growing complexity of health care coupled with the ever-increasing pressures to ensure efficient and effective use of limited resources have encouraged policy makers to turn to system modelling solutions. Such techniques have been available for decades, but despite ample research which demonstrates potential, their application in health services to date is limited. This presentation surveys the breadth of approaches available to support delivery and design across many areas and levels of healthcare planning. Case studies will be presented to exemplify how impactful application of health system modelling can be achieved and demonstrate how policy making can benefit from the application of these tools. This is followed by a discussion of the key issues surrounding the use of these methods in health, what barriers need to be overcome to ensure more effective implementation, and the likely developments in the future.

Abstract

The growing complexity of health care coupled with the ever-increasing pressures to ensure efficient and effective use of limited resources have encouraged policy makers to turn to system modelling solutions. Such techniques have been available for decades, but despite ample research which demonstrates potential, their application in health services to date is limited. This presentation surveys the breadth of approaches available to support delivery and design across many areas and levels of healthcare planning. Case studies will be presented to exemplify how impactful application of health system modelling can be achieved and demonstrate how policy making can benefit from the application of these tools. This is followed by a discussion of the key issues surrounding the use of these methods in health, what barriers need to be overcome to ensure more effective implementation, and the likely developments in the future.
