I should like to draw your attention to a special issue of JORS
concerned with using OR for the benefit of health services and
health care.

             Journal of the Operational Research Society
          Special Issue on 'Meeting Health Challenges with
                                 OR'

Developing countries are faced with difficult decisions
concerning the considerable expense in treating AIDS and other
infectious diseases whereas the major problems in developed
countries concern coronary heart disease, cancers and  the
treatment and care of the elderly.  Costs rise as investigations
and treatments change with the evolution of technology and the
development of new drugs, leading to better survival and greater
demands for services.  In the UK, general practitioners are in
short supply, patients have long waiting times and operations,
once scheduled, are often cancelled, patients wait on trolleys in
A&E departments and hospital discharges are delayed because
nursing homes are under pressure.

The aim of this special issue is to demonstrate the impact that
OR can make on these problems. The guest editors are Ruth
Davies, Senior Lecturer from the School of Management at the
University of Southampton and David Bensley, Operational
Research Programme Manager at the Department of Health,
Economics and Operational Research Division.

They want papers from a spectrum of topics from international
to UK based and from strategic policy issues to more tactical
problems.  They hope to include papers concerned with:
ˇappropriate OR methodologies for practical health
challenges,
ˇmodelling and analysis of policies for the provision of
health care,
ˇcase studies which show the added value of using
analytical techniques.

The editors will be pleased to discuss proposed papers with
authors in advance of formal submission.  You may submit
outline proposals to Ruth Davies or David Bensley (contact
details below) by 31 March 2003.

Please submit full papers to the JORS Editorial Office, Seymour
House, 12 Edward Street, Birmingham B1 2RX, for peer
review in the usual way by 31 August, 2003, marked as "Special
Issue on 'Meeting Health Challenges with OR'".
