1. Project Introduction
To use SIMUL8 to create a model which shows the expected benefits of the introduction of the Apollo device in the treatment of Hepatitis C.

2. Variables to Test Cost Patient Satisfaction Staff time
Staffing cost, cost of treatment, savings based on knowing a patients result straight away
Patient Satisfaction
Time waiting for results, time receiving treatment
Staff time
Clinician, Nurse and Administration staff

5. Data Inputs
The SIMUL8 model is closely linked to the spreadsheet research collated by Anna.
Data is used to feed certain areas of the simulation

6. Data Inputs
Some data has been directly lifted from research provided

7. Data Inputs
Some data has been converted into a useable format then applied to the model

8. Data Inputs
Some data has been selectively chosen to feed the model

9. User Variables
Although the model uses data provided by the team it has been built in a generic way
Individual clients can localize flows to match their own.
The simulation will therefore show personalized benefits of the Apollo device

10. User Variables- Population
Population is driven by geographical area and prevalence
Population to test

11. User Variables- Prevalence and Incidence

12. User Variables- Treatment Received
Users can adapt current treatment expectations and add new treatments

13. User Variables- Cost
All costs and expected revenues can be localized

14. User Variables- Resource Allocation
Some treatment centers may have different allocations of staff

15. Results-Cost

16. Results Flow
