摘要

Operations management provides many exciting opportunities for improving the delivery of healthcare services. Much of the existing literature has focused on the efficient and cost effective delivery of good-quality care. Recently, there has been a growing demand for a more direct consideration of the wants, needs, and preferences of individual patients. This drive for patient-centric care coincides with and is fed by a dramatic explosion in the availability of data and analytics tools. The 12 papers in this special issue build on these important themes, focusing on data-driven, patient-focused approaches to care provision.
