Abstract

Prehospital emergency care systems are complex and do not respond predictably to changes in management. A combined discrete-continuous simulation model focusing on trauma care was designed and implemented in SIMSCRIPT II.5 to allow prediction of the effect of policy changes on system performance and patient survival.
