System Dynamics Coffeehouse
Friday, November 2, 201211:45AM - 12:30PM
HSC LL-208B
The monthly online coffeehouse allows students from many disciplines to ask questions about System Dynamics principles, methods and professional culture/norms.
This Month's Focus:
CASE STUDY - Module-based System Dynamics model of the US health care system, covering population dynamics, general practitioner visits, emergency room visits, pharmaceutical innovation, etc. This model asks the question: Are the medical needs of the US population finite or infinite? The model was developed by Dr. Jim Thompson and shown with his consent and enthusiasm:

TECHNICAL - The technical (non-subject based) learning is to see a module-based model of a large system. Each module stands alone and is part of the whole. Module-based models can reveal opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration through the use of System Dynamics.
