The importance of transparency in building simulation models of the COVID-19 spread

Transparency in modelling of the COVID-19 spread is necessary for enhanced understanding of the underlying logic and assumptions. In Denmark, the government relies on the expert advice given by Statens Serum Institut, whose model logic requires programming capabilities. This review demonstrates the importance in model transparency by setting up a system dynamics simulation model of the COVID-19 spread. The developed model can be applied to test intended interventions' effects and is promoted as a suitable approach for other equally complex problem solving in healthcare.
