The paper demonstrates that SD is well-suited for health policy evaluation challenges and has useful tools for modeling precision oncology and genomic testing. SD's system-oriented modeling captures dynamic and complex interactions within systems using feedback loops. SD models are simple to implement, utilize less data and computational resources, and conduct both exploratory and explanatory analyses over time. If the targeted system has complex interactions and many components, deals with lack of data, and requires interpretability and clinicians' input, SD offers attractive advantages for modeling and evaluating scenarios.
