System dynamics: What’s in it for healthcare simulation modelers

Abstract

In the past decade there has been an explosion in the use of system dynamics modeling in healthcare. Despite this, the approach is still far less well known than discrete-event simulation in the mainstream Operations Research community. This paper contains an introduction to system dynamics, illustrated by several examples in the field of healthcare, and discusses some of the possible reasons for the growth in the popularity of this approach for healthcare modeling.
