This simulation looks at how well an Emergency Department typically performs against the clinical quality indicators: Time to Initial assessment, Time to Treatment and Total time spent in the Emergency Department.
This simulation can be customized to reflect almost any ED. You can change the number of staff available to complete each task, the number of arrivals by type and the number of hospital resources available. Plus, you can test different scenarios and see the impact they have on the Emergency Department. Scenarios include: the impact of more arrivals, sending GP referrals to a Specialist Assessment Unit, and exploring the use of resources.

This simulation allows you to see the cost and resource implications of installing telecare devices in people’s homes on social care services. Users can customize the simulation to represent the over 65 population in their area, and test how many social workers would be required to manage assessments and the impact on waiting times for service users.
There are 3 scenarios tested: cases where a device would be inappropriate, cases where the user has a low to moderate need and cases where the user has a complex need for a device which leads to social worker involvement to resolve a problem. As the simulation runs, you can see these scenarios highlighted in red.

This simulation allows you to experiment with planning staff time to reduce delayed discharges. The simulation assumes that discharges take place 7 days a week, and models standard as well as complex discharges, and discharges to social care. Experiment by choosing an admissions number, varying the numbers of staff and their availability for work on the discharge process, or starting the process from different points, and use the latest simulation model to find ways your organisation can reduce delayed discharges.

This simulation, created with NHS Worcestershire, combines dementia prevalence forecasting and disease progression modelling with a service model for dementia and allows health organisations to understand the impact of the implementation of best practice in health and social care and to support planning of dementia services.

This simulation looks at the issue of improving operating theatre efficiency. See what happens if, instead of the anaesthetist staying with the patient into the recovery room, this role is performed by the recovery room nurse. You can also test whether changing the schedule of operations can improve theatre efficiency

This simulation is designed to look at the impact of implementing the national stroke strategy. Use it to find out how changing bed numbers and referral rates could affect patient care and efficiency

This simulation is designed to look at the impact of implementing best practice in prevention and management of falls. How could changes such as increasing screening and moving care into the community affect patient care and efficiency?

This simulation allows you to see the impact of introducing oral chemotherapy into the breast cancer pathway. Alter the uptake of oral chemotherapy to decide what the best option is in terms of cost and outpatient wait times

This simulation tests what would happen if more GPs developed a special interest in dermatology. Alter the per cent of patients seen by GPs with special interests to see the impact on cost of service, workload and hospital activity

This simulation allows you to investigate the impact of population and demand changes on CT and MRI scanner use
