The book provides a novel and unique perspective of OR/MS applications in healthcare operation management using fundamental management principles that play a role of the laws of physics in science. This innovative approach forms a scalable framework for developing sustainable hospital operations management solutions in a highly variable, intertwined, and resource-constrained environment. Variable patient demand and limited supply of human, financial, and material resources pose significant operational management challenges. Traditional operation management lacks a means of capturing the inevitable process variability and foreseeing the response of one unit to the change in another unit that leads to unintended consequences.
The book's unique feature is that it applies OR/MS side-by-side with traditional methods to demonstrate why the former consistently outperforms the latter. The book is written in a quite engaging style. It frequently uses the Socratic method of posing problems and challenging the readers to think from multiple angles about how to approach them. The writing style avoids a dry academic presentation that is not helpful for the book's target audience: hospital administrators and physician leadership.
