A Systematic Review on the Application of Simulation Technology in Emergency Medical Rescue for Public Health Emergencies
Abstract
operations throughout the event progression. This article reviews the current status and development trends of simulation research for emergency medical rescue in public health emergencies from the perspectives of scenario simulation and decision simulation. It aims to explore
the primary methodologies and approaches employed in this field. Additionally, the article analyzes existing challenges from three key angles
and proposes relevant recommendations. These insights are intended to provide novel perspectives and methodologies for building a scalable
simulation system for emergency medical rescue in public health emergencies.
