The most difficult part of making decisions in the health care
field on all levels (national, regional, institutional, patient) is
linked to the very complexity of the system itself, to the
intrinsic uncertainty involved and its dynamic nature. This
requires not only the ability to analyze and interpret a large
amount of information but also arrange it so that it becomes a
cognitive base for appropriate decision-making. Moreover, decisions
in the health care field are subjected to many challenges and
constraints: fast change and uncertain outcomes, aging population,
increasing citizen expectations, equity considerations and limited
resources. Operations research, statistical and economic-related
quantitative methods supply these decisions making tools and
methodology. The contributed book presents a collection of
applications to concrete situations detailing the problem area, the
methodology employed, the implementation and results. Each topic
addressed in the book will be structured in such a way that an
interdisciplinary and wide audience will be able to use the
materials presented. As an example the book chapters will address
health policies issues, planning health services, epidemiology and
disease modelling, home-care modelling, logistics in health care,
capacity planning, quality and appropriateness.
