Shreenath, Vinutha MagalMoustaid, ElhabibMeijer, Sebastiaan2017-06-122017-06-122017Designing major shifts in complex systems such as healthcare requires a combination of approaches and perspectives. A considerable change in healthcare infrastructure is due to occur in Stockholm with a major emergency department being closed. As this change impacts operations as well as governance, multiple methods are needed to assess it. In this paper, we present an approach combining simulations and data mining of healthcare data to assess the changes to healthcare system in Stockholm; and discuss the opportunities and challenges of doing so.en10.18420/ihc2017_0092510-2591
