Health Efficiency

Health Efficiency: How Can Engineering be a Player in Health Organization? explores the important components of performance measurement. It brings together the work of researchers, doctors and engineers involved in an area where collaboration between doctors and engineers is becoming more and more common. However, the application of industrial engineering and operational research to health systems is still poorly studied and researched, hence the need for this book. After all, better exchanges between disciplines equals better knowledge between health professionals and engineers.

• Presents work done during several days of conferences
• Includes examples of the integration of engineering in health
• Provides elements of reflection for the possible interaction of these two disciplines
