Systems Analytics Theory and Applications for Health Systems Planning
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Envisioning and planning for future health systems requires the ability to deal with complex interdependencies and uncertainties. To address these challenges, systems analytics approaches are available for evidence-based planning at the macro-, meso-, and microplanning levels. These approaches are built on a diverse toolkit that traditionally includes (but is not limited to) agent-based modelling, discrete event simulation, network analysis, and system dynamics. Systems analytics is rooted in various multidisciplinary domains (e.g., decision science, industrial engineering, operations research, and management science). This Topic will bring together advances in systems analytics research and application in the strategic, tactical, and/or operational planning of future health systems.
