Project description
Third-cycle subject: Technology and Health
The ever increasing pressures to ensure the most effective usage of limited healthcare resources is leading to several transitions in health care, including increased adoption of digital technologies. This has to a large extent been supported by systems approaches to processes and flows, enabled by modeling, analytics and operations research. The consideration of these flows goes beyond optimization approaches, requiring the joint analysis of social, institutional and technological aspects of processes. Health care logistics supports the analyses and design of these flows, and has the potential to ensure a properly co-ordinated healthcare system.
The goal of this PhD is to support systemic transitions in healthcare, through an integrated analysis of social and technological aspects of processes and flows. The main focus of this PhD project is to develop a general framework for the modeling and simulation of flows within the healthcare system. The project will combine mapping and modelling of healthcare systems and processes with analytical methods focusing on improving care pathways.
Supervision: Professor Sebastiaan Meijer, Assistant Professors Jayanth Raghothama and Adam Darwich.
