“…Various methods and tools based on geomatics, systems approaches, simulation modelling or hierarchical modelling (i.e. predictive modelling) have been introduced in order to focus and hopefully solve health public problems, including death on waiting lists in cardiology, drug expenditure, mental disability, the collection of blood donations, and the provision of maternity services [15,[32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43].…”

In France and elsewhere, decision-makers, healthcare professionals and health planners need to better understand and specify the provision of medical care. To this end, a hospital-based research project on a gravitational health planning modelling process was initiated in 2002. Since then, geomatics has emerged as a major scientific field for facing new challenges in medical informatics and health planning, thanks to the use of attractive interfaces, new methods and user-friendly IT technologies. Our initial 2002 model has recently been enhanced, optimized and automated as part of a spatial decision support system (PoleSat_2018). These decisive improvements and optimizations were mainly based on Delaunay triangulation, the replacement of human expertise with a heuristic dominance rule that provides a complete automated algorithm, and an online graphical user interface. Rapid, easy planning scenarios (by grouping and/or closing hospitals) give a quasi-instantaneous, strategic visualization of hospital catchment areas for decision-makers who are not experts in geomatics via ready-to-use maps and spreadsheets. This new implementation achieves our main objective, since the proposed deterministic method provides a completely automated, stable algorithm. A custom version of this tool is now being used by the French Ministry of Health for real planning issues. Consequently, PoleSat could be easily generalized as a prospective, strategic decision support tool for various health planning issues.

“…Since then, SRMA specialists have attempted to develop standards on how to conduct and report such SRMAs and created tools to assess the risk of bias or the quality of SRMAs [5]. Although such frenetic corrective statistical activity implies that SRMAs carry the same flaws as those of the data they dredge, SRMAs have proliferated [6], so that the concept of synthesizing data from two or more SRMAs has gained traction in healthcare research-yielding SRMAs of SRMAs, also named "overviews" [7] or "umbrella views" [8]. New methods for dealing with multiple SRMAs published on the same topic area and methods for displaying outcome data in overviews have been proposed [9].…”

“…CSM also helps to recognize problem areas and provides feasible solutions at low-cost and low-pressure (AbouRizk et al 2011). CSM as a decision-support tool has been widely applied in different domains, such as healthcare (Salleh et al 2017), the military (Jnitova et al 2017) and manufacturing (Jeon and Kim 2016). However, the extent to which CSM has been used within the construction domain has been limited compared to other domains (Abdelmegid et al 2020).…”

Much attention has been paid to Computer Simulation and Modelling (CSM) in the research circles of construction over the last sixty years. However, it has not been widely adopted within the construction industry. In this paper, we explore theoretically the potential of the integration between CSM, the Last Planner System (LPS) and Building Information Modelling (BIM) to accelerate the uptake of CSM in the construction industry. To do so, a review of the literature to identify the synergies between CSM, LPS and BIM was undertaken, where it was found that little research has been done associated with their integration and linkages as a whole. We found that an explicit integration of these three domains has the potential to enhance and accelerate the adoption of CSM in construction as it provides the opportunity to engage construction project stakeholders towards CSM, focusing on domain-specific characteristics and recent advancements of construction management. Based on our review, we propose five research questions to guide the development of a domain-specific construction simulation framework to be considered in future research.
