A Simple Example
The previous chapters have introduced the concepts of discrete event
simulation (DES) for health technology assessment (HTA) and the basics of
implementation. To consolidate this understanding, it may be helpful to work
through a simple, but complete, example. A suitable example which is rea-
sonably straightforward is a model designed for an HTA of a new treatment
for a given cancer. The HTA agency wishes to compare the consequences in
patients who respond to treatment because the response rates are no differ-
ent relative to standard therapy. Thus, the patients have been diagnosed with
cancer and are currently in remission ...
