ABOUT THE THEME
The
demand for health care resources is growing continuously due to an
ageing population and technological advances. Since the available
capacity shows an opposite trend, more efficient planning of health
care processes is required to offer acceptable service levels for
patients. Meanwhile, health care logistics has received a vastly
growing interest of the Operations Research community. This has been
illustrated by the organization of two highly successful conferences on
OR in Health Care over the past two years. With this seminar, we
continue this young tradition. We specifically aim to further narrow
the gap between the practical challenges of health care professionals
and the methodological tools of researchers working on OR.
