Method: A systematic review the use of simulation modelling in mental healthcare.

Message: There were widespread and innovative applications of simulation in the areas of medical decision making and epidemiology, with health system planning and optimisation relatively underrepresented. Markov modelling was the preferred method across area and illness. However, the literature is currently undermined by a lack of coherence and evidence of implementation, and there is an ongoing issue of accessing unpublished models from healthcare and government organisations. To advance, the field requires a shared knowledge base, which may be facilitated by the use of existing epidemiological models as the basis of modelling in all other areas.
