Supported by Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA), the approach provides comprehensive information on territory, taking into account the spatial dimensions. Due to the multiple criteria involved, site selection for urban facilities is a crucial topic in planning decision processes, especially for healthcare facilities. Healthcare provision policies generally fail to address the distribution of facilities within cities, entrusting decisions to various stakeholders. Moreover current evaluation tools focus on the intrinsic performances of healthcare structures, disregarding the extrinsic characteristics, namely those related to the location. Starting with a cross-disciplinary literature review, the book describes a multi-methodological approach for decision-making regarding the location of healthcare facilities, and presents an innovative evaluation tool that simultaneously considers functional, locational, environmental and economic issues, providing a comprehensive overview of the areas under investigation. .PoliMI SpringerBriefs,2282-2577Practice of medicineFacility managementOperations researchDecision makingRegional economicsSpatial economicsUrban geographyPractice and Hospital Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H68000Facility Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23063Operations Research/Decision Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/521000Regional/Spatial Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W49000Urban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns)https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15010Centres mèdicsthubEspai (Geografia)thubGestió hospitalàriathubPresa de decisionsthubLlibres electrònicsthubPractice of medicine.Facility management.Operations research.Decision making.Regional economics.Spatial economics.Urban geography.Practice and Hospital Management.Facility Management.Operations Research/Decision Theory.Regional/Spatial Science.Urban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns).Centres mèdicsEspai (Geografia)Gestió hospitalàriaPresa de decisions658.403Dell'Ovo Martaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut990133Oppio Alessandraauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autCapolongo Stefanoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910416136903321Decision Support System for the Location of Healthcare Facilities2264766UNINA
