Using simulation to craft a national organ transplantation policy

Abstract
For many years, we have been able to use simulations for studying manufacturing and service systems, resulting in the ability to make better managerial decisions. As simulation methods have become more sophisticated, we have talked about the benefits of conducting large-scale simulations to support the selections of alternative public and corporate policies. This paper presents a description and analysis of what can be accomplished when simulations are used to support policy analysis and selection. The National Liver Allocation and Distribution Policy is used as the vehicle for presenting specific details of how simulation can be used to support policy selection.
