Abstract
Simulation has been used in a number of different roles and in rather disparate health services operations management settings. The paper discusses some of these role/setting combinations to indicate this methodology's depth of usefulness and breadth of applications in a sector approaching 10% of the GNP -- a sector which is under great pressure to contain costs, yet maintain and expand the quality and quantity of services rendered.
