摘要：Problem definition: This study addresses three important questions concerning personalized healthcare: (1) Are outcome differences between hospitals heterogeneous across patients with different features? (2) If they are, how do the best quality hospitals identified using patient-centric information differ from those identified using population average information? (3) How much will hospitals' pay-for-performance reimbursements change if their performance is measured based on patient-centric in...

摘要：Problem definition: In the blood-donor-management problem, the blood bank incentivizes donors to donate, given blood inventory levels. We propose a model to optimize such incentivization schemes under the context of random demand, blood perishability, observation period between donations, and variability in donor arrivals and dropouts. Methodology/results: We propose an optimization model that simultaneously accounts for the dynamics in the blood inventory and the donor's donation process, as ...

摘要：Problem definition: Hospital-acquired conditions (HACs) represent undesirable complications that occur during a hospital stay. HACs can compromise patient safety and care outcomes and result in unnecessary socio-economic costs. Although hospitals are expected to reduce the incidence of HACs, few studies have examined the implications of HACs on other clinical outcomes and measures of hospital performance. This study contributes to the literature by exploring the relationship between exposure t...

摘要：Problem definition: Online retailers provide recommendations of ancillary services when a customer is making a purchase. Our goal is to predict the net present value (NPV) of these services, estimate the probability of a customer subscribing to each of them depending on what services are offered to them, and ultimately prescribe the optimal personalized service recommendation that maximizes the expected long-term revenue. Methodology/results: We propose a novel method called cluster-while-clas...

摘要：Problem definition: Algorithm-enabled decision support has an increasingly important role in supporting the day-to-day operations of healthcare organizations. Yet, fully realizing the value of algorithmic decision support lies critically in the opportunity to re-engineer the related processes and redefine roles in ways that make organizations more effective. We study how and when algorithm-enabled process innovation (AEPI) creates value in light of dynamic operational environments (i.e., workl...

摘要：Problem definition: Patient-level data from 72 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) hospitals in Ontario, Canada from 2013 to 2017 show that over 60% of patients exceeded their wait time targets. We conduct a data-driven analysis to quantify the reduction in the patient fraction exceeding (FET) target for MRI services through geographic virtual resource-sharing while limiting incremental driving time. We present a data driven method to solve the geographic pooling problem of partitioning 72 hospit...

摘要：Problem definition: We study the dynamic fulfillment problem in e-commerce, in which incoming (multi-item) customer orders must be immediately dispatched to (a combination of) fulfillment centers that have the required inventory. Methodology/results: A prevailing approach to this problem, pioneered by Jasin and Sinha in 2015, has been to write a deterministic linear program that dictates, for each item in an incoming multi-item order from a particular region, how frequently it should be dispat...

摘要：Problem definition: This paper studies the deceased-donor liver allocation policies in the United States. In the transplant community, broader organ sharing is believed to mitigate geographic inequity (intergeographic variation in transplant rates, patient survival rates, waiting times, and offers) in organ access, and recent policies are moving in that direction in principle. The liver-allocation policy has gone through two major modifications in the last 10 years. Despite these overhauls, ge...

摘要：Problem definition: We study the estimation of the probability distribution of individual patient waiting times in an emergency department (ED). Whereas it is known that waiting-time estimates can help improve patients' overall satisfaction and prevent abandonment, existing methods focus on point forecasts, thereby completely ignoring the underlying uncertainty. Communicating only a point forecast to patients can be uninformative and potentially misleading. Methodology/results: We use the mach...

摘要：Problem definition: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services launched the Primary Care First (PCF) initiative in January 2021. The initiative builds upon prior innova-tive payment models and aims at incentivizing a redesign of primary care delivery, includ-ing new modes of delivery, such as remote care. To achieve this goal, the initiative blends capitation and fee-for-service (FFS) payments and includes performance-based adjustments linked to service quality and health outcomes. We analyz...
