Abstract
Using an agent based modeling and simulation (ABMS) tool, an artificial urban healthcare system (HCS) platform can help make medical services more convenient and cost effective. Although China´s living standards have significantly improved in the past few decades, the overall performance and coverage of healthcare services has not advanced as fast as the country´s economic growth. Therefore, the reform and development of urban healthcare in China is of increasing concern.
