The quantitative evaluation of pathogen transmission in the medical intensive care unit (MICU) is difficult given the small number of patients and the complexity and severity of illness. We sought to evaluate the suitability of a probabilistic computer model of our MICU, with which we could rapidly simulate infection control measures and other clinical interventions that would be impossible to perform in the real clinical setting
