This page highlights how the DES RAP Book is being used and referenced by the community. Let us know if you use the DES RAP Book, as we’d love to include it here!
Teaching and training use
The DES RAP Book is already being used and adapted in several teaching and training contexts.
NHS Somerset workshop (planned)
It will be used in a workshop with an NHS Somerset team, to support them in improving their simulation model.Community workshop on reproducible simulation (planned)
A wider workshop is being developed for the simulation community, using DES RAP as the main teaching resource. Participants will work through selected parts of the step-by-step guide and example repositories to explore how reproducible analytical pipelines can be applied to their own discrete-event simulation projects.Coding for Reproducible Research (R environments)
Material from the DES RAP Book has been adapted for use in the R environments module of the Coding for Reproducible Research Training Programme from the University of Exeter.HSMA “Little Book of DES”
DES RAP Book is referenced in several places in the Little Book of DES from the Health Service Modelling Associates (HSMA) Programme at the University of Exeter.
Research
NHS model reuse project (planned)
Collaboration between King’s, The Strategy Unit and the University of Exeter, where DES models are provided to NHS analysts. It explores whether they are able to reproduce and reuse them in their own context, and the model sample includes our python stroke example model.Stroke model of Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) and CT Perfusion (CTP) scanning
Hyperacute and acute stroke pathway model created by John Williams at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust. Now being updated using DES RAP principles to add documentation, reproducible workflows, testing and other RAP infrastructure.
