IMA Journal of Management Mathematics
Special issue on "Mathematical Modelling for Healthcare Management".
Guest Editors: Dr Paul Harper (University of Southampton) and Prof Rose
Baker (University of Salford)
Aim: To publish papers demonstrating the application of mathematical
modelling to healthcare management. Papers should ideally have a significant
mathematical content, and address healthcare management issues of topical
interest. The mathematics should be innovative or original in the context of
the problem it is addressing and/or represent a genuine application of
interesting mathematics to healthcare management.
Scope: Mathematical modelling, statistical analysis, or use of OR
techniques. Healthcare management covers topics such as patient flow,
performance monitoring, resource allocation, demand forecasting and
modelling the effect of interventions among many others.
