Project Introduction • To use SIMUL8 to create a model which shows the expected benefits of the introduction of the Apollo device in the treatment of Hepatitis C.
Variables to Test • Cost • Staffing cost, cost of treatment, savings based on knowing a patients result straight away • Patient Satisfaction • Time waiting for results, time receiving treatment • Staff time • Clinician, Nurse and Administration staff
Data Inputs • The SIMUL8 model is closely linked to the spreadsheet research collated by Anna. • Data is used to feed certain areas of the simulation
Data Inputs Some data has been directly lifted from research provided
Data Inputs • Some data has been converted into a useable format then applied to the model
Data Inputs Some data has been selectively chosen to feed the model
User Variables • Although the model uses data provided by the team it has been built in a generic way • Individual clients can localize flows to match their own. • The simulation will therefore show personalized benefits of the Apollo device
User Variables- Population • Population is driven by geographical area and prevalence Population to test
User Variables- Treatment Received • Users can adapt current treatment expectations and add new treatments
User Variables- Cost • All costs and expected revenues can be localized
User Variables- Resource Allocation • Some treatment centers may have different allocations of staff
