Abstract

The implementation challenges for modelling and simulation in health and social care are well-known and understood. Yet increasing availability of data and a better understanding of the value of Operational Research (OR) applications are strengthening opportunities to support healthcare delivery. Participative approaches in healthcare modelling have shown value through stakeholder engagement and commitment towards co-creation of models and knowledge but are limited in focus on model design and development. For simulation modelling, a participative design research methodology can support development for sustained use, emphasising model usefulness and usability using iterative cycles of development and evaluation. Within a structured methodology, measures of success are built into the design process, focusing on factors which contribute to success, with implicit goals of implementation and improvement. We illustrate this through a participative case study which demonstrates development of the component parts of a real-time simulation model aimed at reducing emergency department crowding.
