Packaged simulators for Health Care insight

The Systems Dynamics Society web-pages on "Other Resources" have a link to the K-12 education SD community, and to the newsletter "The Creative Learning Exchange".
Volume 15 number 2 (Spring, 2006) issue of that has an article by Gary B. Hirsch, Consultant and Creator of Learning Environments, Wayland MA, USA, titled "Packaged Simulators and Simulation-Based Learning Environments: An Alternative to Model-Building That Can Expand the Audience for System Dynamics.

Examples shown are a driving simulator on "curve safety", a house-temperature simulator, and a Retail Store simulator game, and a Public School Reform simulator (for adults). Multiple available exploratoriums are described at the end of the article, including a "health care simulator".
