Computational and Mathematical Organization TheoryThe virtual design team: A computational model of project organizations
293 Citations1996Yan Jin, Raymond E. Levitt
The VDT model is presented in detail and some general issues involved in computational organization modeling, including level of abstraction of tasks and actors' reasoning, and model validation are discussed, are discussed.
Computational and Mathematical Organization TheoryThe validity of computational models in organization science: From model realism to purpose of the model
187 Citations1995Richard M. Burton, B�rge Obel
This paper argues that computational validity is a balance of three elements: the question or purpose, the experimental design, and the computational model, and it is argued that simple models which address the question are preferred.
Medical Care Research and ReviewIncreasing Value: A Research Agenda for Addressing the Managerial and Organizational Challenges Facing Health Care Delivery in the United States
151 Citations2004Stephen M. Shortell
There is growing consensus that the U.S. health care system is not producing value relative to the resources invested and a broad-based social science approach is needed to obtain a greater understanding of change at the individual, group, organizational, and environmental levels as they influence each other.
Health Care Management ScienceEvaluating the Design of a Family Practice Healthcare Clinic Using Discrete-Event Simulation
115 Citations2002James R. Swisher, Sheldon H. Jacobson
A clinic effectiveness measure is introduced that captures several objectives within a health care clinic, including profitability and patient satisfaction, and recommendations are made for an appropriate staffing and facility size for a two physician family practice healthcare clinic.
Health Care Management ScienceRolling Horizon Appointment Scheduling: A Simulation Study
97 Citations2002Thomas R. Rohleder, Kenneth J. Klassen
The results show that managers of appointment scheduling systems must carefully consider which measures are most important to them since the best choices of OLR and RD vary substantially by measure.

Health Care Management ScienceUsing Simulation for AIDS Policy Modeling: Benefits for HIV/AIDS Prevention Policy Makers in Vienna, Austria
31 Citations2002Marion S. Rauner
The strategic role of AIDS policy simulators for the efficient and effective planning of scarce resources to fight the epidemic is demonstrated by highlighting the types of decisions AIDS policy models can support.
International Journal of Medical InformaticsUsing OrgAhead, a computational modeling program, to improve patient care unit safety and quality outcomes
26 Citations2005Judith A. Effken, Barbara B. Brewer +4 more
This paper reports how OrgAhead was used to develop testable hypotheses about the kinds of innovations that nurse managers might realistically implement on their patient care units to improve quality and safety outcomes and focused on unit-level innovations that are likely to be easier for managers to implement.
Journal of Biomedical InformaticsUsing computational modeling to transform nursing data into actionable information
21 Citations2003Judith A. Effken, Barbara B. Brewer +4 more
This work describes the use of OrgAhead, a theoretically based computational modeling program developed at Carnegie Mellon University, to transform data into actionable nursing information and generates hypotheses about changes nurses might make to improve patient outcomes.

This article proposes an alternative approach to the problem of determining a rate-setting formula for facilities providing long-term care, using an absolute-error criterion instead of the least-squares criterion used in regression, with a variety of side constraints incorporated in the derivation of the formula.
