Healthcare systems aspire to offer an effective and efficient provision of health service without compromising on quality. Hospitals are important links in the healthcare service chain, and Operational Research/Management Science methods have an essential role to play in helping to improve the planning and management of hospitals. In particular, simulation methods have been widely used…
Emergency Medical Service (EMS) systems worldwide are complex systems, characterized by significant variation in service providers, care pathways, patient case-mix and quality care indicators. Analysing and improving them is therefore challenging. Since EMS systems differ between countries, it is difficult to provide generic rules and approaches for EMS planning. Nevertheless, the common goal for all…

Clinical pathways are an effective and efficient approach in standardising the progression of treatment, to support patient care and facilitate clinical decision making. This literature review proposes a taxonomy of problems related to clinical…
