Modelling In Healthcare Stream: Operational Research Society Conference
Location: Edinburgh, Scotland, UK
Dates: 4-6 September 2007
Abstract Submission Dates: 30 March 2007
This year’s Operational Research Society Conference is being held in Edinburgh from 4th - 6th September. The modelling in healthcare stream provides the opportunity to present case studies or methodological pieces of work which assist healthcare decision-makers.
Examples may include, but are not limited to:
Service planning techniques:
The use of mathematical models to support resource and capacity planning on a local and national level, e.g. estimating future demand for A&E departments.Disease models:
The application of OR techniques to inform clinical and policy decision-making, e.g. comparing the cost-effectiveness of chemotherapy options for the treatment of women with breast cancer.Research planning and prioritisation:
The use of value of information methods to quantify existing levels of uncertainty and to subsequently identify and prioritise those areas in which further research would be most valuable, e.g. identifying research priorities for MS.Methodology development:
The development of new and innovative OR methods to support healthcare decision-making, e.g. the use of metamodels to analyse computationally expensive models.
If you would like to present in this stream at the conference, abstracts must be submitted by 30th March via the OR Society website.
If you have any queries please contact h.pilgrim@sheffield.ac.uk.
