医疗保健中的离散事件模拟（DES）研究被认为在研究生命周期中受益于利益相关者的参与。本文报告了一个多方法框架，称为PartiSim，旨在支持参与式模拟研究。PartiSim将DES（传统的硬OR方法）与软系统方法（SSM）相结合，以将利益相关者参与研究生命周期。该框架包括一些规定的活动和输出的一部分，在模拟生命周期中所涉及的阶段，其中包括研究启动，找出问题，定义一个概念模型，模型编码，实验和实施。在PartiSim，其中四个阶段涉及与一组利益攸关方举行的促进讲习班。我们解释了研讨会的组织，分配给分析师和利益相关者的关键角色，以及如何在框架中嵌入便利化。我们讨论了我们的经验，使用框架，提供指导时使用它，并得出结论与未来的研究方向。
Discrete event simulation (DES) studies in healthcare are thought to benefit from stakeholder participation during the study lifecycle. This paper reports on a multi-methodology framework, called PartiSim that is intended to support participative simulation studies. PartiSim combines DES, a traditionally hard OR approach, with soft systems methodology (SSM) in order to incorporate stakeholder involvement in the study lifecycle. The framework consists of a number of prescribed activities and outputs as part of the stages involved in the simulation lifecycle, which include study initiation, finding out about the problem, defining a conceptual model, model coding, experimentation and implementation. In PartiSim four of these stages involve facilitated workshops with a group of stakeholders. We explain the organisation of workshops, the key roles assigned to analysts and stakeholders, and how facilitation is embedded in the framework. We discuss our experience of using the framework, provide guidance on when to use it and conclude with future research directions.
