From the Preface: Collectively, the chapters in this book address
application domains including inpatient and outpatient services,
public health networks, supply chain management, and resource
constrained settings in developing countries. Many of the chapters
provide specific examples or case studies illustrating the
applications of operations research methods across the globe,
including Africa, Australia, Belgium, Canada, the United Kingdom,
and the United States. Chapters 1-4 review operations research
methods that are most commonly applied to health care operations
management including: queuing, simulation, and mathematical
programming. Chapters 5-7 address challenges related to inpatient
services in hospitals such as surgery, intensive care units, and
hospital wards. Chapters 8-10 cover outpatient services, the
fastest growing part of many health systems, and describe
operations research models for primary and specialty care services,
and how to plan for patient no-shows. Chapters 12 - 16 cover topics
related to the broader integration of health services in the
context of public health, including optimizing the location of
emergency vehicles, planning for mass vaccination events, and the
coordination among different parts of a health system. Chapters
17-18 address supply chain management within hospitals, with a
focus on pharmaceutical supply management, and the challenges of
managing inventory for nursing units. Finally, Chapters 19-20
provide examples of important and emerging research in the realm of
humanitarian logistics.
