Development of a Simulation and Data Visualisation Tool to Assist in Strategic Operations Management in Emergency Services

Overview The problem of determining where ambulances should be stationed, and at what times they should operate, has received a great deal of attention in the literature. This is a difficult strategic problem whose solution requires careful balancing of political, economic and medical objectives. Quantitative decision processes are becoming increasingly important in providing public accountability for the resourcing decisions that have to be made. This paper discusses a simulation and analysis software tool 'BartSim' that has been developed as a strategic decision support tool for use within the St John Ambulance Service (Auckland Region) in New Zealand (St Johns).
