Abstract
Despite the size and importance of the health care industry,
simulation is less prevalent in health care than in other fields
such as manufacturing, logistics, and military applications.
Yet simulation clearly has the potential to play a role in health
care decision-making at many levels. The purpose of this
panel is to discuss some of the issues that practioners must
be aware of in order to tap the potential of simulation in the
health care arena. The panelists have extensive experience
in health care and the use of simulation in that environment.
They have provided statements outlining several key issues
for achieving success in current and future health care
simulation projects. These will serve as the starting point
for discussion at the conference.
