The studies have delved into qualitative Operational Research like Problem Structuring, Critical Systems Thinking, Soft Systems Methodology, and Qualitative System Dynamics, and also quantitative techniques such as Monte Carlo Simulation, Discrete-event Simulation, and System Dynamics. These techniques have been applied for review and assessment of emergency services, for policy formulation and for facilitating broader public engagement in emergency preparedness and response. Furthermore, this book presents rigorous reviews on the applications of Operational Research in the wider healthcare context. This volume focuses mainly on emergency planning at the strategic level, whereas volume 1 focuses on planning at the operational level. The OR Essentials series presents a unique cross-section of high quality research work fundamental to understanding contemporary issues and research across a range of Operational Research (OR) topics. It brings together some of the best research papers from the highly respected journals of the Operational Research Society, also published by Palgrave Macmillan.OR EssentialsBusiness mathematicsManagement information systemsProduction managementOperations researchDecision makingLeadershipEmergency medicineBusiness Mathematicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/523000Business Information Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/522030Operations Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/519000Operations Research/Decision Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/521000Business Strategy/Leadershiphttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/515010Emergency Medicinehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H22000Business mathematics.Management information systems.Production management.Operations research.Decision making.Leadership.Emergency medicine.Business Mathematics.Business Information Systems.Operations Management.Operations Research/Decision Theory.Business Strategy/Leadership.Emergency Medicine.330.0151Mustafee Navoniledthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910254934403321Operational Research for Emergency Planning in Healthcare: Volume 22095781UNINA
