This book presents a selection of studies that have applied
Operational Research methods to improve emergency planning in
healthcare, to include both A&E and public health emergencies
like epidemic and natural disasters. The studies have delved into
qualitative Operational Research like Problem Structuring, Critical
Systems Thinking, Soft Systems Methodology, and Qualitative System
Dynamics, and also quantitative techniques such as Monte Carlo
Simulation, Discrete-event Simulation, and System Dynamics. These
techniques have been applied for review and assessment of emergency
services, for policy formulation and for facilitating broader
public engagement in emergency preparedness and response.
Furthermore, this book presents rigorous reviews on the
applications of Operational Research in the wider healthcare
context. This volume focuses mainly on emergency planning at the
strategic level, whereas volume 1 focuses on planning at the
operational level. The OR Essentials series presents a unique
cross-section of high quality research work fundamental to
understanding contemporary issues and research across a range of
Operational Research (OR) topics. It brings together some of the
best research papers from the highly respected journals of the
Operational Research Society, also published by Palgrave Macmillan.
