 South Central show that you can reduce stroke deaths by up to 18% with very little cost impact Continue reading Reducing Stroke Deaths without Increasing Costs – Case Study County Durham and Darlington NHS use software to find best course of preventative stroke treatment. As reported in the SIMUL8 blog, there was a BBC news published a story this week saying that ‘Colon Cancer Cases May Rise by 50%‘. The shocking headline is based on a forecast published in the European Journal of Cancer stating that in the UK there will be 35,000 new cases a year by 2040, compared with 23,000 a year now if obesity and exercise levels remain static. The statistic seemed so high, that I built a pathway using Scenario Generator and put demand into the model using forecasted population figures for England and the age banded prevalence of colon cancer. The forecast I produced was 37,000 new cases in the year 2040. Since the data I needed was already integrated in the Scenaio Generator tool, it only took me a few minutes to see that our simulation tool produced almost exactly the same results that the scientists Continue reading Scenario Generator proves Colon Cancer statistics Through user groups and training sessions the Scenario Generator team noticed that lots of healthcare users of Scenario Generator were modeling alternative solutions to managing urgent care. Due to this common interest in a particular modeling theme, last week SIMUL8 held a webinar for interested users. The session examined the most recent research evidence for what works in urgent care pathways. It also provided examples of how the scenarios discussed in the evidence could be modeled using simulation to show the impact of such changes. As thousands of jobs are cut within NHS Scotland, SIMUL8 Corporation demonstrate how Scenario Generator software has helped over 85% of PCT’s in England ensure that their remaining staff is not burdened with ‘excessive workloads’. Scotland’s Health Secretary, Nicola Sturgeon, meets NHS board heads and the BMA this week to examine the impact of the reduced staffing levels announced in June this year. Ms Sturgeon told the Press Association that: “It is my job to ensure the NHS delivers the best quality of care, manages the financial challenges facing it and takes the right decisions now to secure services in the future.” |
