CHOIR organizes a special issue on “Data-driven Integrated Care Planning and Scheduling“

Call for Papers: OR Spectrum, Special Issue: “Data-driven Integrated Care Planning and Scheduling”

We are excited to share the cfp for OR Spectrum special issue on “Data-driven Integrated Care Planning and Scheduling”. Healthcare systems are faced with an enormous productivity challenge due to rising costs and increased demand. Now more than ever, we need a more networked healthcare sector, with improved coordination and collaboration along the entire patient journey. This special issue particularly seeks contributions that focus on applications of OR in settings that span multiple departments or care providers along the patient journey. We especially welcome contributions that are geared towards implementation, i.e., with real-life data experiments, pilots, collaborations with healthcare providers, etc.
