Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue on "Evaluation and Potential of Effective Decision-Making in Healthcare" seeks to bring together a diverse array of research, insights, and innovations aimed at enhancing decision-making processes within the healthcare domain. In an era characterised by rapidly evolving medical technologies, demographic shifts, and growing patient expectations, the ability to make informed, timely, and cost-effective decisions is paramount. Therefore, this Special Issue calls for illustrative policy examples that evaluate the potential of decision-support systems, considering suitable cost and effectiveness parameters from a societal perspective for an appropriate time horizon. We welcome contributions based on simulation and mathematical analytics as well as conceptual and theoretical papers in that field. By showcasing cutting-edge research and practical solutions, this Special Issue seeks to empower healthcare professionals, policymakers, and stakeholders with the knowledge and tools needed to understand the impact of policy and regulation on healthcare choices, navigate the complex landscape of healthcare decision-making and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
