FLAME

FLAME in patient flow modelling project started

2014-01-10T00:00:00+00:00

FLAME is being used in a new partient flow modelling project. The project - a collaboration between STFC, Sheffield University and CMFT - will be using FLAME to simulate the flow of patients through the hospitals A&E Department.

The purpose of this project is to explore the use of agent-based modelling in patient pathway modelling with the A&E Department of the Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (CMFT). CMFT have expressed an interest in a real time computer model that could help clinical teams to manage the flow of patients through the A&E Department.

This exploration of an agent-based model is the initial step to providing a such real time and predictive model.

The project is divide into three Phases:

Phase I: Specification and Information Gathering
Phase II: Model Design and Implementation
Phase III: Testing, verification, validation and User trials

The whole project will be 12 months and will at the end deliver a prototype agent-based model of patient pathways of the CMFT environment. CMFT have highlight a number of questions they would like to be able to answer which will drive some of the developments.

FLAME project receives two-year EPSRC grant for HPC developments

2011-08-01T00:00:00+00:00

In a recent EPSRC high performance computing (HPC) funding call the FLAME project team have been award two-year project, worth over £400,000, to improve the computational performance of FLAME applications on large-scale computing systems such as HECToR making the best use of multi-core processors.

The project is a collaboration between Computer Science at Sheffield University and the Software Engineering Group at the STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.

New FLAME website

2011-07-06T00:00:00+00:00

Welcome to the new FLAME website. As you may have already noticed, it is still a work in progress. Please bear with us while we attempt to pool all the latest FLAME resources under one roof. If you have any enquiries, feel free to contact us.
