Investing in Disaster Management Capabilities versus Pre-positioning Inventory: A New Approach to Disaster Preparedness | Summary
By comparing a without with one in which supplies have been pre-positioned in the country and one in which investments in management capabilities (DMC) have been made, we demonstrate the strong improvement potential of preparedness activities. |
Proposing 'the burns suite' as a novel simulation tool for advancing the delivery of burns education. | Summary
We explored this concept in a burns in a novel, low-cost, high-fidelity, portable, immersive simulation environment (referred to as distributed simulation). This contextualized simulation/distributed simulation combination was named “The Burns Suite” (TBS)A pediatric burn resuscitation was selected after high trainee demand. |
Using Real-Time Decision Tools to Improve Distributed Decision-Making Capabilities in High-Magnitude Crisis Situations. | Summary
Case study to employ an agent-based synthetic environment to simulate a event, and then use an MLSVM model to examine alternative strategies to the simulated crisis as it unfolds.Objectives:validate the effectiveness of SVMs (support vector machines) as an automated generic IT–based decision support to model and improve the effectiveness of multi-organizational, collaborative decision making in high-magnitude crisis situationsexamine the anticipatory and explanatory effectiveness of a MLSVM (multistage linear SVM) algorithm that would effectively capture different patterns of behavior of decision makers in a multi-organizational setting |
