论文摘要
我们审查并定义了与医疗保健相关系统中离散事件模拟有关的当前最新现状。基于先前发表的工作，对过去五年（2017-2021）进行了对已发表文献的评论。 PubMed和EbsCohost在医疗保健中搜索了有关离散事件模拟的期刊文章，从而确定了933篇独特的文章。在标题/摘要级别上，其中大约一半被排除在外，在全文级别中排除了154个，留下311篇论文进行分析。对这些进行了分类，然后按类别进行分析，并集体分析，以确定随着时间的推移，疾病的重点，划分的活动水平，所使用的软件系统以及正在研究的医疗保健单位的大小。最初总共确定了1196篇文章。此列表范围缩小到311，以进行系统的审查。遵循先前系统评价的架构，这些文章分为四个广泛类别：医疗保健系统操作（HCSO），疾病进展建模（DPM），筛查模型（SM）和健康行为建模（HBM）。我们发现，医疗保健中的离散事件模拟已逐步增加，并扩展到医疗体系的各个领域。此外，这项研究增加了额外的文献计量学维度，以更多地了解如何以及在医疗保健中使用模拟的细节和细微差别。
We review and define the current state of the art as relating to discrete event simulation in healthcare-related systems. A review of published literature over the past five years (2017 - 2021) was conducted, building upon previously published work. PubMed and EBSCOhost were searched for journal articles on discrete event simulation in healthcare resulting in identification of 933 unique articles. Of these about half were excluded at the title/abstract level and 154 at the full text level, leaving 311 papers to analyze. These were categorized, then analyzed by category and collectively to identify publication volume over time, disease focus, activity levels by coun-try, software systems used, and sizes of healthcare unit under study. A total of 1196 articles were initially identified. This list was narrowed down to 311 for systematic review. Following the schema from prior systematic reviews, the articles fell into four broad categories: health care sys-tems operations (HCSO), disease progression modeling (DPM), screening modeling (SM), and health behavior modeling (HBM). We found that discrete event simulation in healthcare has con-tinued to increase year-over-year, as well as expand into diverse areas of the healthcare system. In addition, this study adds extra bibliometric dimensions to gain more insight into the details and nuances of how and where simulation is being used in healthcare.
