Strategic Planning in Population Health

Improve the Healthcare outcomes of your population by using simulation for planning the health of your population and deliver on the Triple Aim of quality of care, cost and better health for populations.

Why Simulation for Strategic Planning in Population Health?

Test a change in any part of the system, see the outcome, and use the evidence to support strategic decision making and the planning, financing and design of new models of care.

Simulating a whole system allows you to understand the complexity of the system, examine the flow of patients from an attributed population into services and measure activity, resource utilization and cost across organizational boundaries.

From a patient's first contact with a primary care physician, through the hospital and on to community services, the simulation allows you to understand their flow through the whole system

With simulation software, you can finally get a handle on how value-based payment programs, evolving patient insurance status, aging demographics, and clinical interventions will come together for your organization.

Simulation allows you to:

  • Understand the impact of change
  • Test Contingency Plans
  • See Areas for Improvement
  • Use Real World Data for Planning Accuracy
  • Inform stakeholder Discussions
  • Plan for the future
  • Create Evidence for Change

Improving Health Outcomes of Your Population using Simulation

Discover how simulation can be used to tackle key population health issues such as stroke care, dementia planning and pre-natal care to enable healthcare delivery networks to deliver on the Triple Aim of quality of care, cost and better health for populations.

Scenario Generator was the only tool available to build a case for developing pre-natal services for this vulnerable population and without it we wouldn't have come as far along in the process in terms of having evidence for decision makers.

Improving Patient Care Pathways

We look at patient care pathways and demonstrates how simulation can combine process flow perspectives to include; services, clinical best practice, and the progression of patients through disease states to test the impact of improvement initiatives on patient care, outcomes, costs and resource utilization.
