Computer Simulation as a Tool to Enable Decision-Making in a Pandemic Influenza Response Scenario
[Article]
Leaming, James M; Adoff, Spencer; Terndrup, Thomas E
Introduction: We sought to develop and test a computer-based, interactive simulation of a hypothetical pandemic influenza outbreak. Fidelity was enhanced with integrated video and branching decision trees, built upon the 2007 federal planning assumptions. We conducted a before-and-after study of the simulation effectiveness to assess the simulations' ability to assess participants' beliefs regarding their own hospitals' mass casualty incident preparedness.
