Check consistency of population-wide HSI events assumptions #1260

Open marghe-molaro opened 9 months ago

marghe-molaro commented 9 months ago

Currently in mode 2 we do not enforce resource constraints on population-wide HSI events as no modules in the simulation at the time of mode 2 development employed population-wide HSI events. The current healthcare system set up however still allows for this possibility, meaning developers may introduce population-wide HSI events in the future. For consistency, we should either 1. remove population-wide HSI events completely from the simulation, or 2. Allow for the possibility of population-wide HSI events to be resource constrained (both by HR capabilities and equipment).

Good point. It would make life most easy if we got rid of population wide HSI.

Thank you, @marghe-molaro, this answers my question well. @tbhallett, does this mean that for now I can only check the essential equipment availability for individual-level HSI events and if it's not available prevent the event from running; and leave the checking of equip availability for population-wide HSI events to be addressed as part of this issue?

Yes, I think so.
