The issue of real world implementation of the results of modeling and simulation (M&S) studies in healthcare has been the focus of research interest for decades. Using a model of trust which focuses on a three-way conceptualization of trust between modelers, the model and stakeholders across the M&S study process, this paper investigates reported project features of a subset of healthcare studies that describe results implementation. Differentiating between credibility and trust, the paper provides a preliminary evaluation of aspects of implemented studies that can be mapped to the trust model. The findings align with previous empirical results that have investigated implementation in healthcare M&S, and support the value of the Trust model for structuring an evaluation or implementation plan for M&S studies in the healthcare domain.
