Abstract
Innovation in the sharing economy continues to thrive within healthcare systems. Emerging internet platforms and traditional hospitals/alliances have created diverse healthcare sharing scenarios, integrating a wide range of dispersed specialized medical resources to provide more convenient and efficient solutions to meet diverse demands. We adopt a classification framework based on staff, supplies, information, and alliances, guided by the concepts and scenarios of healthcare sharing. We mainly review research issues in the fields of operations management and information systems over the past decade, encompassing service pricing and matching, patient flow management, inventory management, multiple resources scheduling and allocation, network and mechanism design, quality evaluation, technology impact and cost-effectiveness analysis. Combining the advancements of digital intelligence technology and the evolution of healthcare sharing modes, we present some new problems, scenarios, and approaches, which offer potential opportunities for future research.
期刊介绍:
Omega reports on developments in management, including the latest research results and applications. Original contributions and review articles describe the state of the art in specific fields or functions of management, while there are shorter critical assessments of particular management techniques. Other features of the journal are the "Memoranda" section for short communications and "Feedback", a correspondence column. Omega is both stimulating reading and an important source for practising managers, specialists in management services, operational research workers and management scientists, management consultants, academics, students and research personnel throughout the world. The material published is of high quality and relevance, written in a manner which makes it accessible to all of this wide-ranging readership. Preference will be given to papers with implications to the practice of management. Submissions of purely theoretical papers are discouraged. The review of material for publication in the journal reflects this aim.
