2016 journal article
Computing the number of acute-care beds within NC Certificate of Need
HEALTH SYSTEMS, 5(2), 98–108.
author keywords: Certificate of Need; geographic equity; health-care capacity; Voronoi diagram; acute-care beds
TL;DR:
North Carolina’s Certificate of Need legislation is intended to limit unnecessary growth in the number of acute-care beds throughout the state, and the current method of computing bed needs based on existing administrative units (counties) using Voronoi diagrams is rejected.

2013 journal article
Identifying optimal mitigation strategies for responding to a mild influenza epidemic
SIMULATION-TRANSACTIONS OF THE SOCIETY FOR MODELING AND SIMULATION INTERNATIONAL, 89(11), 1400–1415.
author keywords: Simulation; mild epidemic; optimal control policy; cost-effectiveness analysis; vaccination; self-isolation
TL;DR:
A continuous-time simulation model for the spread of a mild influenza epidemic based on the SEIR model, which shows that for low (high) levels of intervention, vaccination is incrementally more cost-effective than self-isolation, and public health officials should concentrate on vaccination at the beginning of the epidemic.

2011 conference paper
Tutorial on the simulation of healthcare systems
Proceedings of the 2011 winter simulation conference (wsc), 1403–1414.
TL;DR:
For a variety of reasons, simulation has enjoyed widespread application in health care and health care delivery systems and numerous studies employ system dynamics, agent-based simulation, and hybrid/combined methods.
