Mainstreaming modeling and simulation to accelerate public health innovation.

摘要: Dynamic modeling and simulation are systems science tools that examine behaviors outcomes resulting from interactions among multiple system components over time. Although there excellent examples of their application, they have not been adopted as mainstream in population health planning policymaking. Impediments to use include the legacy ease statistical approaches produce estimates with confidence intervals, difficulty multidisciplinary collaboration for simulation, scientists’ inability communicate effectively added value tools, low funding science. Proposed remedies aggregation diverse data sets, training public other professionals, changing research incentives toward collaboration, increased projects.
