The first conference in September 1994 attracted medical

service managers; and operational research specialists,
economists, statisticians and mathematicians employed in health
care and universities. The conference will focus on practical
methodologies in the provision and purchase of services.
Previous conferences were held in 1994 and 1997. These

practice; health service managers; and operational research
specialists, economists, statisticians, and mathematicians

Health Care Management Science Journal contained papers
presented at the conference in 1997.
The conference will focus on practical methodologies in
budgeting, financing, setting of priorities, and allocation of
resources for the provision of services, and the formulation and
measurement of performance indicators. Papers covering
experience with established methodologies and issues relating to
their implementation are welcome together with those describing
new methodologies. The conference will consist of keynote
