Dear Colleagues:
Accepting Individual Abstract Submission NOW! The submission deadline is March 3rd.
INFORMS Healthcare, July 26-28, 2017 Rotterdam, Netherlands, meetings2.informs.org/wordpress/healthcare2017
Track: Health Operations Management
The goal of INFORMS Healthcare 2017 is to bring together academic researchers in "healthcare analytics" and industry stakeholders who are applying their research to share information and improve the delivery of effective healthcare. The health sector is catching up fast but still lags behind other industries such as airlines, hotel chains, and retail in the adoption of systematic and quantitative analysis used in decision support, and this conference will help to bridge the informational gap. The conference aims to bring a cross-cultural view of healthcare systems worldwide and the research and applications designed to improve these systems.
The "health operations management" cluster focuses on the application of OR/OM methods to the improvement of healthcare and healthcare deliver. We invite papers that focus on, but are not limited to:
? Decision-making in health
? Efficient scheduling of resources (patients, providers, nurses)
? Effective use of electronic health records
? Healthcare policy
? Intersection of healthcare and public health to provide a more "population" perspective on value
? Global health
? Delivering healthcare in developing countries
? Increasing Efficiency in therapy and treatment delivery
? Public health
? Health informatics
? Analytics-based solutions for care coordination
? Impact of IT-enabled care coordination on patient/population health outcomes (e.g. hospital readmissions, cost efficiency)
