Several hundred computer simulation models have been developed in the last 15 years to solve problems in the nation's health care delivery system. These models are categorized and reviewed according to 21 areas of application, along with discussion of general model characteristics. Charts showing trends in health care simulation modeling are given, followed by discussion of problems in model implementation and directions for future research.
