The event was held on Saturday February 28, 2015 and 181 graduate students from 93 institutions participated in-person at five regional sites. During the competition, students worked with the simulator in small teams to craft long term policy solutions to a complex network of problems facing the health care system in the United States. Following is a description of how this competition came to be, identification of the key stakeholders, a description of the environment which made the competition a reality, details about the simulation model which was the backbone of the competition, an explanation of the planning and logistics for each site, a list of materials that were created to turn the tool into a learning experience, and speculations abo...

The competition took place at five sites and involved 181 graduate students from 93 institutions. Students used the simulator in small teams to craft long­ term policy solutions to problems facing the U.S. health care system. This article describes how the competition came to be, identifies key stakeholders, describes the environment that made the competition a reality, explains the simulation model, details the planning and logistics for each competition site, lists the materials that turned the simulation into a learning experience, and speculates about implications of this competition and the role for simulation­based exercises in public management and public policy education.
