Abstract

This paper presents an application to data from Czechoslovakia of a health care resource allocation model called DRAM (Disaggregated Resource Allocation Model). DRAM was developed by the health care systems modelling group at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA). It attempts to predict the consequences of resource-level changes, in terms of the numbers of patients treated in each clinical category and the quality of care they receive in each mode of treatment. In this application, seven acute clinical categories and two types of resources (hospital doctors and hospital beds) are selected for examination in one mode of treatment—in-patient care. Some parallels are drawn with a comparable application in the UK.

Healthcare service enhancement with patient search
2022, Journal of Business Research
Citation Excerpt :
Our focus is to examine how patients’ search behavior affects the optimal healthcare service level. Finally, there exists a substantial body of literature that is devoted to healthcare service operations (Aspden et al., 1981; Dahl et al., 2021; Guo et al., 2019; Kraus et al., 2021; Lin et al., 2013; Niu et al., 2022; Xie et al., 2021; Zhou et al., 2018). Lin et al. (2013) put forward a framework for multi-objective simulation optimization that combines the power of genetic algorithm in surgical services.
The rapid development of Internet medical and advanced information technology has allowed patients to effortlessly search for their preferred healthcare services before making medical decisions. However, such strategic search behavior from patients will challenge the efforts of healthcare service providers to enhance their services and create marketing strategies. We investigate a healthcare service provider’s optimal service enhancement strategy with the consideration of patient search. Our primary objective is to figure out how the patient search cost affects the optimal healthcare service level and also the healthcare provider’s corresponding selling strategy. We find that if the fraction of patients who like the service is low, the optimal service level is increasing in the search cost. Whereas, if there are more patients who like the service, with a decrease in search cost, the healthcare provider may increase the service level to attract patients to search their preferences. In addition, by comparing with the scenario wherein patient search behavior is prohibited, we find that the patient search will counter-intuitively dampen the healthcare provider’s incentive on service enhancement. Thus, the underlying patient search would be detrimental to the provider’s profitability. We further find that, even if patients initially perceive their preferences over the healthcare service, such elimination of preference uncertainty (i.e., patient search, in this case, is needless) will not always benefit the healthcare provider, which highly hinges on the fraction of patients who like the healthcare service and the magnitude of search cost.
A cooperative robust human resource allocation problem for healthcare systems for disaster management
2022, Computers and Industrial Engineering
Citation Excerpt :
As a well-known optimization field, resource allocation problems are related to the effective utilization of scarce resources (De Angelis et al., 2003; Zaki et al., 1997). The need for resource allocation within healthcare sectors is increasing worldwide (Aspden et al., 1981). Therefore, several researchers have investigated the applications of resource allocation problems in various domains, including public health (Bekemeier et al., 2013), patient flow management (Chemweno et al., 2016; Li et al., 2021), military sector (Jenkins et al., 2020), emergency services (Acuna et al., 2020; Zonouzi & Kargari, 2020), organ transplant (Mendonça et al., 2020), and mobile healthcare systems (Zhou et al., 2019).
Similar to other human-made institutes, healthcare systems often experience post-disaster disruptions in performance, which can pose significant threats to the people’s lives in the affected zone. In this study, we develop a cooperative game theory approach to alleviate the negative impacts of such catastrophic events, minimize normal hospital service levels, and reduce undesired expenses. Hence, we propose a linear robust formulation to enable the observation of collaborative behaviors among medical centers, including transferring staff, beds, and patients between hospitals. In our proposed model, information uncertainty is considered the right-hand side parameter (i.e., as coefficients for the decision variables of the constraints). Moreover, the existence of a core in the developed game structure is investigated to demonstrate the stability of the developed cooperative structure. Finally, we generated many numerical examples to evaluate the performance of the model under various circumstances and presented a number of managerial insights.
Check Only Once? Health Information Exchange between Competing Private Hospitals
2022, Omega (United Kingdom)
Citation Excerpt :
Our work is related to the literature on healthcare service operations. Aspden et al. [3] study a healthcare resource allocation problem when demand is boundary but resources are insufficient. Lin et al. [27] develop a multi-objective simulation model combined with data envelopment analysis to find the optimal resource level in surgery.
Health check is essential in medical diagnostic procedures, so double-check becomes common if patients have physical examination/blood tests in one hospital but transfer to another hospital in the next period. To save patients’ costs, blockchain-based health information exchange for differentiated service is advocated but competing hospitals usually have incentive conflicts, especially those private hospitals who are most concerned with profitability. In this paper, we develop a two-period model where two private hospitals compete in both service quality and service charges. We formulate their tradeoffs towards health information exchange and find that interestingly, the two hospitals achieve incentive alignment when their profit loss in health check fee is significant and the service competition is intensified. We identify two driving forces, namely, the quality improvement effect and the price compensation effect, to interpret the rationality of the hospitals’ preferences of health information exchange.
A review of program evaluation and fund allocation methods within the service and government sectors
1995, Socio-Economic Planning Sciences
A detailed analysis of existing published research on project/program evaluation, selection and fund allocation within service and government sectors is presented. This analysis is based on a survey of 306 articles from 93 journals. Different methods for measuring intangibles are briefly presented and contrasted along with typical non-industrial applications. It is concluded that few publications deal with both evaluation and allocation as an integrated process, and that a systematic classification of prevailing research does not exist. A scheme is developed for categorizing published research in terms of modeling methodology, objectives, scope and areas of application. Additionally, trends and new areas of research are identified.
