Abstract

The use of Operations Research techniques for problems in healthcare systems is observed to get remarkable attention in recent years. In this study, problems encountered in healthcare systems are taken into consideration and are classified under the headings of planning, management and application. In order to guide the researchers who will work on these issues, studies published between the years 2007-2017 are evaluated according to their headings, solution methods and applications on real life problems, and the applicability of Operation Research over these problems is presented.

Özet

Yöneylem Araştırması tekniklerinin sağlık alanındaki problemlerin çözümünde kullanımının son yıllarda dikkat çekici boyutlara ulaştığı görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, sağlık sistemlerinde karşılaşılan problemler ele alınmış ve planlama, yönetim ve uygulama başlıkları altında sınıflandırılmıştır. Bu konularda çalışma yapacak araştırmacılara yön göstermesi amacıyla, 2007-2017 yılları arasında yayınlanan çalışmalar, konu başlıklarına göre, çözüm yöntemleri ve gerçek hayat problemleri üzerindeki uygulamaları açısından değerlendirilmiş ve Yöneylem Araştırması’nın bu tür problemlerin çözümünde uygulanabilirliği ortaya koyulmuştur.
