This Briefs Series book illustrates in depth a concept of
healthcare management engineering and its domain for hospital and
clinic operations. Predictive and analytic decision-making power of
management engineering methodology is systematically compared to
traditional management reasoning by applying both side by side to
analyze 26 concrete operational management problems adapted from
hospital and clinic practice. The problem types include: clinic,
bed and operating rooms capacity; patient flow; staffing and
scheduling; resource allocation and optimization; forecasting of
patient volumes and seasonal variability; business intelligence and
data mining; and game theory application for allocating cost
savings between cooperating providers. Detailed examples of
applications are provided for quantitative methods such as discrete
event simulation, queuing analytic theory, linear and probabilistic
optimization, forecasting of a time series, principal component
decomposition of a data set and cluster analysis, and the Shapley
value for fair gain sharing between cooperating participants. A
summary of some fundamental management engineering principles is
provided. The goal of the book is to help to bridge the gap in
mutual understanding and communication between management
engineering professionals and hospital and clinic administrators.
The book is intended primarily for hospital/clinic leadership who
are in charge of making managerial decisions. This book can also
serve as a compendium of introductory problems/projects for
graduate students in Healthcare Management and Administration, as
well as for MBA programs with an emphasis in Healthcare.
