Citation Allen M, Spencer A, Gibson A, Matthews J, Allwood A, Prosser S, Pitt M. Right cot, right place, right time: improving the design and organisation of neonatal care networks – a computer simulation study. Health Services and Delivery Research 2015; 3(20) Authors' objectives To develop a computer model that could mimic the performance of a neonatal network and predict the effect of altering network configuration on neonatal unit workloads, ability to meet nurse staffing guidelines, and distance from the parents' home location to the point of care. The aim is to provide a model to assist in planning of capacity, location and type of neonatal services. Authors' conclusions We have developed a model that predicts performance of a neonatal network from the perspectives of both the service provider and the parents of infants in care.
