The document summarizes the activities of the Healthcare Systems Modeling and Simulation Affinity Group (HSMSAG). It provides an overview of the group's mission to use modeling and simulation to improve healthcare systems. It discusses the group's membership of over 1,300 individuals, educational webinars, website and social media presence. The document promotes using systems modeling and simulation as an innovation platform to accelerate improving healthcare delivery and outcomes.

 Round table
 Call for volunteers
 Strategic planning
 Mission and vision
 Committee and membership management and growth
 Education session for members
 PR (website, social network) and collaborations(external groups)

5. Mission
Develop and use modeling and
computer simulation resources with a
systems engineering-based approach
to design and evaluate (system)
solutions that will improve patient
safety, quality of care, and cost
effectiveness in healthcare.

6.  Simulation is the imitation or representation of one
act or system by another.
 Healthcare simulations can be said to have four main
purposes – education, assessment, research, and
health systems integration to facilitate patient
safety...
 Simulations may also add to our understanding of
human behavior in the true–to–life settings in which
professionals operate.
