1. Simulation to
Evaluate Great Care
(SIMTEGR8)

2. Dr Marianne Bamkin

4. Background
£100k awarded by
University’s EPG
Reduce
A & E
admissions
1-year Project

5. • Understand current patient pathway and develop
approximate computer simulation
• Evaluate how emergency admissions to hospitals can
be reduced
• Help Improve the patient journey through new
integrated interventions
Purpose of Project

6. • Use the simulated computer model as a basis
for the analysis of the intervention as it stands
• Work together to find ways of developing the
service
Purpose of Workshop

7. • Understand the simulation (Understand)
• Compare with reality (Validate)
• Define issues (Scope)
• Actions for improvement (Improve)
4 Phases

11. Model Demonstration

12. Validate

13. Validating the Models
• Fit with dashboard data
– Arrivals
– Avoided Admissions
• Does the model reflect the real pilot scheme?
• Any modifications/improvements?
• What is constraining this service?
• Any learning points?

14. Scope

15. Improve
