https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-53663-2
provides a comprehensive exploration of healthcare management operations. Through a systematic comparison of predictive and analytic decision-making methodologies with traditional management approaches, the book employs case studies derived from real-world hospital and clinic scenarios. It addresses a spectrum of problems encompassing patient flow, aligning capacity with variable demand, resource allocation, staffing and scheduling, statistical data analytics, and cost distribution among cooperating providers.
The book encompasses a wide array of quantitative methods, including discrete event simulation, queuing analytic theory, linear, integer and probabilistic optimization, among others. By acting as a bridge between management engineering experts and healthcare administrators, Healthcare Management Engineering is an invaluable resource for hospital and clinic leadership. Furthermore, it serves as a comprehensive repository of introductory challenges and projects suitable for graduate-level students in healthcare management and administration.
