Abstract

Managing transport is key to support the achievement of net zero healthcare. This study aims to assess transport options (single vs. multi-modal; electric vs. combustion) considering sustainability, efficiency, and responsiveness of the healthcare operations. To achieve the aim, we develop a mathematical model and conduct numerical experiment using a total cost of ownership (TCO) approach and a case study of blood supply chain in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. We find that electric vehicle slightly outperforms combustion vehicle both in the single and multi-modal scenarios within optimised routes. We contribute by proposing the first TCO-based transport model and simulation for multivehicle operations within the healthcare sector. This study could help hospitals and blood centres conduct scenario planning to help achieve net zero targets, which is in line with the current trend set by the government to use more electric vehicles and the scarce use of electric vehicles in healthcare operations.

在印度尼西亚实现净零医疗运输业务：总体拥有成本法

交通管理是支持实现净零医疗的关键。本研究旨在评估运输方案（单式运输与多式运输；电动运输与燃烧运输），同时考虑医疗运营的可持续性、效率和响应性。为实现这一目标，我们利用总拥有成本（TCO）方法和印尼日惹血液供应链案例研究，建立了一个数学模型并进行了数值实验。我们发现，在优化路线内的单模式和多模式场景中，电动汽车的性能略优于内燃汽车。我们首次提出了基于总拥有成本的运输模型，并对医疗保健行业的多车运营进行了模拟。这项研究可以帮助医院和血液中心进行情景规划，以帮助实现净零排放目标，这与当前政府制定的使用更多电动汽车的趋势以及在医疗保健业务中使用电动汽车的稀缺性是一致的。

期刊介绍： Studies directed toward the more effective utilization of existing resources, e.g. mathematical programming models of health care delivery systems with relevance to more effective program design; systems analysis of fire outbreaks and its relevance to the location of fire stations; statistical analysis of the efficiency of a developing country economy or industry. Studies relating to the interaction of various segments of society and technology, e.g. the effects of government health policies on the utilization and design of hospital facilities; the relationship between housing density and the demands on public transportation or other service facilities: patterns and implications of urban development and air or water pollution. Studies devoted to the anticipations of and response to future needs for social, health and other human services, e.g. the relationship between industrial growth and the development of educational resources in affected areas; investigation of future demands for material and child health resources in a developing country; design of effective recycling in an urban setting.
