  A review of health logistics in war zones

  • Rosemarie Santa González, presenter, UQÀM
  • Marie-Eve Rancourt, HEC Montréal
  • Marilène Cherkesly, ESG UQÀM
  • Teodor Gabriel Crainic, Université du Québec à Montréal

  Healthcare access is limited in a war zone. Thus, mobile clinics are employed to serve as a temporary solution. These are customized vehicles from which healthcare practitioners may provide services. This presentation reviews relevant literature on mobile clinics and highlights the gap related to operations research and operations management.

  A support decision tool to choose patient transportation and accompanying

  • Eva Petitdemange, presenter, CIRRELT
  • Nadia Lahrichi, Polytechnique Montréal
  • Louis-Martin Rousseau, Polytechnique Montréal

  Patient external transportation is a major portion of the budget of logistics in health care facilities in Quebec .These organizations have decided uniformize their decision process regarding the booking and the choice of patient external transportation. In order to standardize, we design a support decision prototype to help choose the right type of transportation and accompanying for patients.

  Simulation model for patient external transportation in Montreal

  • Elisa Dubois, presenter, CIRRELT
  • Nadia Lahrichi, Polytechnique Montréal
  • Louis-Martin Rousseau, Polytechnique Montréal

  Patient external transportation is a major portion of the budget of logistics in health care facilities in Quebec. The institutions are currently uniformizing their decision process regarding the organization of patient external transportation. Different strategies for booking are tested using a simulation model. We also take advantage of the model to test routing scenarios, introduce new vehicles, and finally test levels of centralization.

  Planning a unified transport system for healthcare institutions

  • Anne-Laurence Thoux, presenter, Polytechnique Montreal
  • Nadia Lahrichi, Polytechnique Montréal
  • Louis-Martin Rousseau, Polytechnique Montréal

  Since April 2015, Montreal’s healthcare facilities have been merged into CIUSSSs to reduce the operating costs. We can wonder if a unified transportation system to serve the patients of all CIUSSSs could allow additional savings. To verify this hypothesis, we propose a clustering model to solve the daily patient’s transportation problem.
