摘要：We present two Decision Support Systems [DSSs] as decision aids to health planners in evaluating the expenditures needed to launch and sustain the 80/20 policy initiative of the IOM. The core DSS is called the Dynamic Change DSS and it is assumed that there is unrestricted activity in the parameter set. The other DSS is called the SWAP DSS; it assumes stasis in the final total number of individuals in the service population and so only a swap between the service classes is permitted. The SWAP is a benchmark to the Dynamic Change information set which is the launching pad to the What-If re-parameterizations that may be needed to address sustainability. The interactive model for these What-If re-parameterizations is an e-Delphi Workspace. These DSSs, the Pilot-Test parameterized versions, and the respective manuals are available from the corresponding author at no charge and with no restriction on their use.
