  摘要：Provision of safe, timely care to hospital patients requires services from multiple support departments, such as environmental services and pharmacy. However, few studies have examined the impact of the service quality of internal support departments on clinical performance. The lack of studies linking internal service quality (ISQ) to clinical performance creates a gap in healthcare operations management theory and-from a practice standpoint-might contribute to underinvestment in the quality ...

  摘要：Having accurate, unbiased prognosis information can help patients and providers make better decisions about what course of treatment to take. Using a comprehensive dataset of all colorectal cancer patients in California, we generate predictive models that estimate short-term and medium-term survival probabilities for patients based on their clinical and demographic information. Our study addresses some of the contradictions in the literature about survival rates and significantly improves pred...

  摘要：Limited guidance is available for providing patient-specific care to hypertensive patients, although this chronic condition is the leading risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. To address this issue, we develop an analytical model that takes into account the most relevant risk factors including age, sex, blood pressure, diabetes status, smoking habits, and blood cholesterol. Using the Markov Decision Process framework, we develop a model to maximize expected quality-adjusted life years, as ...
• Introduction to the Special Issue on Patient-Centric Healthcare Management in the Age of Analytics AI翻译

  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 ...
• Contracts to Promote Optimal Use of Optional Diagnostic Tests in Cancer Treatment AI翻译

  摘要：In this study, we examine performance-based payment contracts to promote the optimal use of an optional diagnostic test for newly diagnosed cancer patients. Our work is inspired by three trends: tremendous increases in the cost of new, advanced cancer drugs; development of new diagnostic tests to allow physicians to tailor treatment to patients; and changes in healthcare funding models that reward quality care. We model the interaction between two parties-a healthcare payer and an oncologist, ...
• The Boarding Patient: Effects of ICU and Hospital Occupancy Surges on Patient Flow AI翻译
  作者：Long, Elisa F.; Mathews, Kusum S.

  摘要：Patients admitted to a hospital's intensive care unit (ICU) often endure prolonged boarding within the ICU following receipt of care, unnecessarily occupying a critical care bed, and thereby delaying admission for other incoming patients due to bed shortage. Using patient-level data over two years at two major academic medical centers, we estimate the impact of ICU and ward occupancy levels on ICU length of stay (LOS), and test whether simultaneous surge occupancy in both areas impacts overall...
