Abstract
Hundreds of thousands of United States military service members are suffering
from PTSD and other psychological health conditions as a result of their wartime service. A
myriad of possible system interventions and resource allocation schemas have been
researched and proposed, but finite budgets and manpower dictate a careful allocation of
resources to optimize outcomes. We describe a stock-and-flow model of psychological
health treatment tailored to the unique context of the military’s healthcare system. Our
model, implemented as a “Management Flight Simulator”, reports the impact of system
interventions on areas of stakeholder concern and is designed to communicate complex
systemic behaviors to those without domain specific knowledge.
