New features for improved modeling of long term conditions
Working with users on models for people with long term care needs, we know that they are very often using different services at the same time.
We have created a feature which enables you to "split" patients and service users into a number of parts to enable them to access services at the same time. This gives a more accurate view of utilization and cost.
Update of baseline model
Scenario Generator comes with a baseline model which has been created using published data, research evidence and with input from the service and baseline simulationclinicians. We have updated for NHS England to reflect new kinds of services, including psychological therapies and the new 111 service, and revalidated flows to reflect the current use of services in NHS England.
This includes:
- Outpatient appointments
- Elective admissions
- ED attendance and urgent admissions
- New 111 service
- IAPT services in mental health
- Maternities
There is also new baseline model for Canadian and Scotland health services.
We've recently launched Scenario Generator in Italy, Canada, and the Netherlands. To reflect this we've made it easy to import new population and costs for these territories. Simply select your country to import population, currency, and costs data.

New user interface, graphics, and menus
For the new release, we have also given our graphics a facelift.
