Pipeline of platforms modules

Current unreleased work to develop modules for modelling the optimal staffing and configuration of support services for young people.

Our current pipeline of modules for modelling platforms includes code for implementing:

  • a discrete event simulation of primary mental health services for young people;
  • a simple cohort model of early psychosis services; and
  • a blended (systems dynamics / discrete event simulation) model for optimising eligibility and referral policies across multiple services.

The first two of the above models are currently implemented in R and are sufficiently advanced to produce exploratory analysis. However, neither are adequately documented or tested and need to be redeveloped as ready4 model modules and re-validated prior to development releases. The optimisation model was implemented in Java and was populated with toy data - this will require more substantial development prior to public release.
