Geolocation and resource utilisation within the ECR delivery system are crucial in optimising service delivery and patient outcome. Under the model assumptions, as the number of stroke cases requiring ECR increased, a two-centre ECR system resulted in increased timely ECR delivery, compared to a single-centre system. This study demonstrated the flexibility and the potential application of our DES model in simulating the stroke service within any location worldwide.
