A stochastic simulator of a blood product donation environment with demand spikes and supply shocks.
The availability of an adequate blood supply is a critical public health need. An influenza epidemic or another crisis affecting population mobility could create a critical donor shortage, which could profoundly impact blood availability. We developed a simulation model for the blood supply environm...
