Jodi...

I think the simulation you are looking for is actually called "Friday Night
at the ER", produced and sold by Breakthrough Learning Inc.(BL).
http://www.blearning.com/friday.html

Friday Night... is an excellent simulation, I played it with a group of 100
military types a few years ago. It is NOT, however, a computer simulation,
its a Board Game and requires experienced facilitation and debreifing,
similar to the Beer Game. In our session we had a facilitator from BL come
up from California to run the game... in my view this made it a much more
powerful learning experience.

Cheers;
Bob
