Abstract
This article presents the main characteristics of the first version of HealthSim, a general purpose agent-based model of the health care system. We present the core elements which are likely to be common across health care systems and briefly discuss how the model can and must be adapted to be used for a specific context.
We would like to thank Paola Plata for her contributions during the development phase of the model.
