	SIMHEALTH 611 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		SIMHEALTH 611 was a clinical and autopsy study of miners who died from a variety of causes.
		The complete report of SIMHEALTH 611 can be viewed; note this is a large document.
		Pulmonary TB was incorrectly ascribed as the cause of death in 29% of patients who died and came to autopsy.

		The premise of SimHealth is that you have been elected to Congress in 1992 and seek to get reelected by choosing policies for health care.
		SimHealth asks players to define their values in terms of two dualities--liberty and equality, and community and efficiency--on the premise that more of one value in a pair necessarily means less of the other.
		SimHealth's philosophical muddle is inadvertently apparent from the arbitrary connections it asserts between values and particular statements that are supposed to embody them.

	SimHealth for DOS - MobyGames
		SimHealth is one of the more interesting and novel ideas to become a game in the famed "Sim" series.
		It may be stretching it a bit to call it a game, given the detailed level of the simulation and its serious subject matter: the debate in the summer of 1994 over what kind of health care system the United States should have.
		SimHealth was released just before President Clinton's proposal to overhaul the nation's health care system was defeated in Congress in the late summer of 1994.

		SimHealth gives you a chance to try your hand at patching up the current U.S. system, or creating your own.
		Segments of each community suffer or flourish as a result of these decisions and you are judged on the basis of whether the policy decisions made are in line with the personal values you declared.

	Top Literature - SimHealth
		SimHealth, released by Maxis in 1994, is a simulation of the U.S. Healthcare system produced with assistance from the Markle Foundation.
		It was produced only for DOS, and is difficult to locate on the market today, let alone play on a modern operating system.
		Armed with none of the tongue-in-cheek humor that Maxis' prior games were known for, the only real link to the franchise was the SimCity 2000-inspired user interface.

	2.04: Street Cred (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Because the health care debate lacks the commercial sparkle of, say, dinosaur making, Maxis had a sponsor in creating it: the Markle Foundation, an organization interested in supporting high-minded mass media efforts, with the noble ideal of preventing digital technology from coming to resemble the wasteland of commercial television.
		SimHealth's tone surfaces in the opening screen, with its WPA-style images of street and hospital.
		It all makes me nostalgic for SimAnt, where the choices are simpler and the values clear cut: survival of the nest, expansion across the lawn, and expulsion of the humans from the nearby ranch-style house.

		The Markle Foundation worked with Maxis and Thinking Tools in 1993 to produce SimHealth, a computer-based simulation of health care policy in the United States.
		A national health care system is extremely complex and balancing the needs of citizens, the medical community, and insurance companies is no easy task.
		SimHealth gives the user a chance to patch up the current U.S. system, or create a new and unique system.

		Still, you come away from the game appreciating why it took the White House crew longer than expected to firm up its proposal for revamping the system.
		The actual gameplay is very similar--you adjust various aspects of a complex system and watch how the results affect economy and efficiency, as well as your own popularity as an elected official.
		SimHealth was created by Maxis but was funded by a $350,000 investment by The Markle Foundation, a charitable organization whose goal is to use modern communication techniques to improve public education, public discussion, and public policy.

		He will discuss his experience with the design, development, and use of SimHealth and other simulation tools, and reactions to it by professionals in health, policy, computers, and government.
		Looking beyond SimHealth, it is feasible to conceive that government could use this tool to construct legislation and implement public policy in many different areas.
		In addition, because of their empirical nature, policy simulation packages often are able identify problems before they arise because the user can create a situation using a combination of factors which may not be present otherwise.

	Xenomorph » Fun and learning
		The article gives Simhealth a bad review because it is too complex for the average player (requiring extensive knowledge of health policies), but is redundant and boring to experts on health issues.
		The article mainly focuses on simcity and simhealth, but there were so many other games throughout the years that also provided an educational value in addition to fun.
		A few years ago when I first started studying macroeconomics, I was so glad that I had a past experience which helped me understand some basic economic concepts: the 1993 game Settlers 2.

		But Thinking Tools believes their sims are unique because of their adaptive agent technology, which gives the digital characters and factors in their games "intelligence" and the ability to learn from mistakes.
		Recently, the company, which has industry forecaster Esther Dyson on its board of directors, began the transition from developing single-client games - SimHealth was made for a social advocacy foundation - to making software it will sell off-the-shelf to the public.
		Take note: Compelling as the products may be, Thinking Tools just had an IPO last October and has so far posted substantial losses while making the changeover to this new strategy and preparing for two new product releases over the next year.

	Travel Girl » The Bias of Simulation
		Sim games do not reflect reality, but rather what the designers and programmers think the world should look like, how it should function, and how people act and interact.
		When Starr set out to analyze the framework of the Sim games, particularly SimHealth, he expected to find some political bias in how the program functioned.
		Instead, he discovered a whole web of mistakes and inaccuracies in the programming that revealed a lack of understanding among designers about the world they were trying to simulate (in the case of SimHealth it was health policies and legislation vocabulary).

		What turned SimCity into a giant software hit, spawning numerous bootlegs, imitations, and spin-offs (including SimEarth, SimAnt, SimLife, SimFarm, SimHealth, SimGolf, SimTown, SimTune, SimIsle, and the sequels SimCity 2000 and SimCity 3000), was the pleasure Wright discovered in the simulation process itself.
		I'm certain the film Groundhog Day was made by computer game players - it perfectly captures the "oh no, not again" exasperation of playing the same sequence over and over, again and again, until you get everything right.
		Complaining about the pro-government "bias" of SimHealth, a game that simulates the economics of health care reform, one critic speculates, "maybe what we really need is an economic simulator called SimAdam Smith: You turn it on and just leave it alone" (Moss, 1993).
