Large scale simulation to inform hospital design

Simulation project will assist in the planning process for the new Women’s and Children’s Hospital in South Australia.


The largest hospital simulation project ever undertaken in Australia will assist in the planning process for the new Women’s and Children’s Hospital in South Australia, according to an article on the Mirage News website.

The use of data analytics and computer simulation is expected to provide valuable insight on the infrastructure requirements.

Simulation will help inform the design of key areas of the new hospital; the pediatric emergency department, operating rooms, outpatients clinics and imaging, as well as looking at patient journeys throughout the hospital, according to a project spokesperson.

The project team is expected to work closely with stakeholders in experimenting with the simulation to test the proposed models of care, and will develop the best option for the overall design.
