Medical Modeling and Simulation Concept Maps


This site hosts a Concept Map created and regularly edited & improved by Bob Armstrong.

You can learn more about this Concept Map in a published chapter (authored by Bob Armstrong) of “Improving Healthcare Systems,” edited by Ellen DeutschHarsad G. GurnaneyShawna J. Perry, and published by Springer.

The book is available now.


 

This Concept Map seeks to answer a high level question:

Where can models and simulations, and relevant tools, be utilized throughout the comprehensive healthcare industry?

Over a decade in the education area of the healthcare industry (and a couple more decades in other industries) has shown me that there are misconceptions and unnecessary limits put on the typical answer(s) to the above question. I created this Concept Map to help others understand the ways that models and simulations can be leveraged to impart understanding and value in the many different, but related, facets of healthcare.
