Health & Medicine
Natural and man-made biological threats, public health emergencies, and uncontrollable costs threaten to overwhelm today’s educational and healthcare delivery systems, and society. In response to these challenges, subject matter experts, administrators, and simulation developers must collaborate to develop cost-effective, serious games and simulations allowing for better analysis of complex systems for improved incident action plans, decision making, and training. The Health and Medicine Track provides a forum for experts and stakeholders from a variety of disciplines to share advances, identify and solve problems, and foster future research
opportunities that expand the role of modeling and simulation to dramatically improve patient outcomes and overall disaster response.
