From the reviews:“The book offers insights for researchers and practitioners from diverse disciplines, including engineering, public health, business, and clinical disciplines such as medicine, pharmacy, and nursing. Furthermore, healthcare financial professionals should find many chapters useful in their work to improve organizational outcomes. … This handbook provides a high-quality survey of the literature in operations management and research in healthcare. … Finally, it is an important reference to include in libraries at institutions with courses on operational efficiency and supply chain management.” (Patrick Albert Palmieri, Doody’s Book Reviews, January, 2014)
