Operations Research for Health Care

期刊简介：Operations Research for Health Care (ORHC) focuses on the development and use of operations research and analytics in health and health care. The journal publishes high-quality operations research and/or analytics approaches to problems in health care from researchers and practitioners. ORHC encourages contributions related to typical problem areas of health care such as: hospitals, practices, care (including home care and long-term care), emergency management systems, as well as blood and organ logistics or population health policy and economic analysis. Typical OR/Analytics topics are therefore: forecasting, capacity planning, layout planning, transport and logistics, scheduling, and appointment planning among others - using methods such as: heuristics, machine learning, stochastic modelling, mathematical optimization, and simulation. Case studies or numerical experiments should be based on real world data. In addition to original research articles, ORHC publishes: Review Papers: The content and presentation of this international journal is such as to provide maximum utility to researchers, teachers and practitioners who have an interest in operations research techniques for good health care delivery. Review papers will be presented from time to time, as deemed suitable. Emphasis will be given to those areas in which significant advances are being made. Review Papers are by invitation only. Focused Issue Papers: ORHC also publishes focused issues on topics of interest related to its editorial mission. Such issues typically contain between six and twelve articles. They are put together under the responsibility of one or several guest editors. However, the final decision on all papers will be made by the Editor-in-Chief. Prospective guest editors should provide a call for papers as well as an informative CV for each guest editor. Prospective review authors or guest editors of focused issues are encouraged to contact the Editor-in-Chief, Professor Stefan Nickel.

【译文】医疗保健运筹学 (ORHC) 专注于运筹学和分析在健康和医疗保健领域的开发和使用。该杂志发表研究人员和从业人员针对医疗保健问题的高质量运筹学和/或分析方法。 ORHC 鼓励与医疗保健的典型问题领域相关的贡献，例如：医院、实践、护理（包括家庭护理和长期护理）、应急管理系统以及血液和器官物流或人口健康政策和经济分析。因此，典型的 OR/分析主题包括：预测、容量规划、布局规划、运输和物流、调度和预约规划等 - 使用启发式、机器学习、随机建模、数学优化和模拟等方法。案例研究或数值实验应基于现实世界的数据。除了原创研究文章外，ORHC 还出版： 评论论文：这本国际期刊的内容和演示文稿旨在为对良好医疗保健服务的运筹学技术感兴趣的研究人员、教师和从业者提供最大的实用性。评审论文将在认为合适的情况下不时提交。将重点关注正在取得重大进展的领域。评审论文仅受邀请。重点议题论文：ORHC 还出版与其编辑任务相关的感兴趣主题的重点议题。此类问题通常包含六到十二篇文章。它们由一名或多名客座编辑负责整理。然而，所有论文的最终决定将由主编做出。未来的客座编辑应该为每位客座编辑提供论文征集以及内容丰富的简历。我们鼓励潜在的评论作者或焦点问题的客座编辑联系主编 Stefan Nickel 教授。
