impact of uncertainty. Although less common for HTA DES, a model run
may comprise multiple replications in order to represent the experience
over alternative time periods (e.g., the daily operation of a clinic or emer-
gency department). In this case, the results of each replication are of interest,
in and of themselves, but can be combined to represent the results for the
facility as a whole.
