This paper describes a case study in which a simulation model, specifically an attraction-constrained spatial interaction model, is used to provide information to assist in the exploration of different options for the future provision of in-patient hospital facilities in an English Regional Health Authority. The model is used to evaluate options on the basis of their effect on two different criteria: first the level of utilization of hospital in-patient facilities relative to need of populations resident in different parts of the region, and secondly the relative ease of geographical access of the facilities to the populations served.
本文描述了一个案例研究，其中使用了一个模拟模型，具体而言是一个吸引力约束空间相互作用模型，来提供信息，以协助探索为英国一个地区卫生局未来提供住院医院设施的不同方案。该模型用于根据其对两个不同标准的影响来评估方案：首先是相对于该地区不同地区居民需求的住院设施利用水平，其次是设施对所服务人群的地理可达性相对难易程度。
