Description: "The decision technologies, tools, and theories of Operations Research and Management Science have long been applied to a wide range of issues and problems in health care. To date, however, no single handbook has synthesized the wide applicability of such techniques. Operations Research and Health Care: a Handbook of Methods and Applications now makes available to practitioners, students, and researchers a comprehensive handbook that will help them improve their ability to apply these methodologies. In addition, this handbook presents new state-of-the-art techniques, explores new issues and challenges, and examines new avenues for research."--BOOK JACKET.
