Operations Management and Demand-based Approaches to Healthcare Outcomes and Cost-benefits Research

The main goal of this project is to develop and disseminate theoretically rich but practical conceptual models and toolkit of the healthcare service production system. This main goal can be divided in seven specific objectives:

Develop more effective and efficient healthcare systems models with new a scientific approach building on service operations management;
Develop tools, methods, and models to create more sustainable health systems to encounter universal challenges of healthcare demand;
Investigate relationships among quality of care, cost, efficiency and accessibility;
Understand the relationship between healthcare outcomes and cost-benefits using technical, allocative and economic efficiency measures of service production systems;
Identify different demand segments of healthcare;
Enhance cooperation between researchers in Europe to promote the integration and excellence of European healthcare systems research;
Develop future European healthcare system model scenarios.
