| Title: | System Dynamics Modeling in Healthcare: The Ugandan Immunisation System |

| Abstract: | The paper develops a system dynamics simulation model to understand the dynamics
of immunisation with the aim of aiding decision making process by proposing
policies that would enhance immunisation utilization. The model is designed with
the intent to show how particular variables influence immunisation demand and
coverage rather than predict immunisation coverage rates. The paper applies system
dynamics modeling and field study research methods to capture the complex and
dynamic nature of the immunization process, to enhance the understanding of the
immunization health care problems and to generate insights that may increase the
immunization coverage effectiveness. The model is divided into four sectors
interacting with one another. The paper suggests key leverage points which could
substantially improve immunisation demand, effectiveness of the health system as
well as vaccine management. |
