It highlights the need to adopt multidisciplinary strategies in water management while providing an in-depth understanding of institutional interactions amongst different water related sectors. The key characteristics of AWM i.e. polycentric governance, organisational flexibility and public participation are investigated and described through a critical review of the relevant literature. The book presents an empirical case study undertaken in a selected developing-country city to investigate the potential gaps between the current water management approaches and possible implementation of AWM. Feasibility of AWM operations is examined in an environment surrounded by established water management structure with centralised governance and an institutional process based on technical flexibility. The key elements of AWM performance are (re)structured and transformed into decision support systems. Multi criteria decision models are developed to facilitate quantification and visualization of the elements derived from the case study, which is involved with water companies and water consumers. The book describes how the concept of AWM, along with structuring suitable decision support systems, can be developed and applied to developing-country cities. The book highlights the barriers for applying the AWM strategies that include established centralised decision making, bureaucratic interactions with external organisations, lack of organisational flexibility within the institutions, and lack of recognition of public role in water management. The findings outline that despite the lack of adaptability in the current water management in the case study, as an example of developing countries, there are positive attitudes among water professionals and the public towards adaptability through public-institutional participation. /p> Note de contenu : Chapter 1.

This requires not only the ability to analyze and interpret a large amount of information but also arrange it so that it becomes a cognitive base for appropriate decision-making. Moreover, decisions in the health care field are subjected to many challenges and constraints: fast change and uncertain outcomes, aging population, increasing citizen expectations, equity considerations and limited resources. Operations research, statistical and economic-related quantitative methods supply these decisions making tools and methodology.

Each topic addressed in the book will be structured in such a way that an interdisciplinary and wide audience will be able to use the materials presented. As an example the book chapters will address health policies issues, planning health services, epidemiology and disease modelling, home-care modelling, logistics in health care, capacity planning, quality and appropriateness Note de contenu : Workforce Management based on forecasted demand -- Operating rooms scheduling under uncertainty -- Idealised design and modelling of alternatives to hospital care -- A coordination model for enhancing research on rare diseases -- Integrating simulation and risk-based sensitivity analysis methods in hospital emergency department design -- Technical and scale efficiencies of Catholic hospitals: Does a system value of stewardship matter?- Optimal allocation of urban nuclei to hospital birth centres in a geographical region -- The nurse-to-patient assigment problem in Home Care services -- An analysis of the financial statements of Italian health care providers through correlation-based networks -- Prioritizing health care interventions: A multicriteria resource allocation model to inform the choice of community care programmes -- Using data envelopment analysis for formative evaluation of radiotherapy services: An exploratory study -- A simulation-based decision support tool to analyze clinical pathways in hospital -- Patient mix optimisation for inpatient planning with multiple resources Permalink : https://genes.bibli.fr/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=112668 Advanced Decision Making Methods Applied to Health Care [document électronique] / Elena Tànfani ; Angela Testi ; SpringerLink (Online service) . - Berlin ; Heidelberg (DEU) ; New York ; Bâle (CHE) : Springer, 2012 . - VIII, 236 p : online resource. - (International Series in Operations Research & Management Science, ISSN 0884-8289; 173) .

The analytical techniques developed in this book for efficiency provide alternative ways of defining optimum outcome sets, typically as a (technical) production frontier or as an (economic) cost, revenue or profit frontier, and alternative ways of measuring efficiency relative to an appropriate frontier. Simultaneously, the analytical techniques developed for efficiency analysis extend directly to productivity analysis, thereby providing alternative methods for estimating productivity levels, and productivity change through time or productivity variation across producers. This book includes chapters using data envelopment analysis (DEA) or stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) as quantitative techniques capable of measuring efficiency and productivity. Across the book’s 15 chapters, it broadly extends into popular application areas including agriculture, banking and finance, and municipal performance, and relatively new application areas including corporate social responsibility, the value of intangible assets, land consolidation, and the measurement of economic well-being. The chapters also cover topics such as permutation tests for production frontier shifts, new indices of total factor productivity, and also randomized controlled trials and production frontiers Note de contenu : Chapter 1.
