...Kirandeep Chahal; Tillal Eldabi Purpose Healthcare organisations exhibit detail and dynamic complexity. It has been argued that discrete event simulation (DES) is ideal for problems exhibiting detail complexity and system dynamics (SD) lends itself naturally to comprehend dynamic complexity...

...Korina Katsaliaki; Navonil Mustafee Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the viability of using distributed simulation to execute large and complex healthcare simulation models which help government take informed decisions. Design/methodology/approach The paper compares...

...Marijn Janssen; Bram Klievink Purpose In the process of transformation, governments have to deal with a host of stakeholders and complex organizational and technical issues. In this viewpoint paper, an argument is made in favour of using gaming and simulation as tools designed to aid...

...Maged Ali; Ahmad Ghoneim; Zahir Irani; Aisha Naseer; Tillal Eldabi; Mohsen Jahangirian Purpose The purpose of this paper is to see whether it is possible to learn any lessons from the application of simulation and modeling in the defense sector to be applied in the healthcare sector. Design...

...Khalil Khoumbati; Marinos Themistocleous Purpose This paper seeks to evaluate the adoption of enterprise application integration (EAI) in healthcare organisations. In doing so, fuzzy cognitive mapping (FCM) simulation is used to demonstrate the causal inter‐relationships between the EAI adoption...
