Abstract

This discussion session will begin by reviewing some of the grand challenges in healthcare simulation from the perspective of the authors. We will then engage participants in a discussion on their experiences in simulation modelling applied to healthcare and thoughts on grand challenges. Some of the challenges that the authors have identified are: 1. How can modelling and simulation support integration of the healthcare system? 2. How do we incorporate data on individual behaviour and social determinants of health in simulation modelling? 3. How do we capture equity in the context of simulation modelling? 4. How do we make simulation modelling more accessible and enable widespread use of models through Open Science initiatives? 5. How can we best utilize the increasing availability of real time healthcare system data for real time simulation and digital twins? We look forward to a lively discussion on these questions and other grand challenges in healthcare simulation.
