Abstract

Well-planned care arrangements with effective distribution of available resources have the potential to address inefficiencies in mental health services. We begin by exploring the complexities associated with mental health and describe how these influence service delivery. We then conduct a scoping literature review of studies employing optimisation techniques that address service delivery issues in mental healthcare. Studies are classified based on criteria such as the type of planning decision addressed, the purpose of the study and care setting. We analyse the modelling methodologies used, objectives, constraints and model solutions. We find that the application of optimisation to mental healthcare is in its early stages compared to the rest of healthcare. Commonalities between mental healthcare service provision and other services are discussed, and the future research agenda is outlined. We find that the existing application of optimisation in specific healthcare settings can be transferred to mental healthcare. Also highlighted are opportunities for addressing specific issues faced by mental healthcare services.

注意差距:精神卫生保健服务提供的优化审查。

精心规划的护理安排和现有资源的有效分配，有可能解决精神卫生服务效率低下的问题。我们首先探索与心理健康相关的复杂性，并描述这些如何影响服务提供。然后，我们对采用优化技术解决精神保健服务提供问题的研究进行了范围文献综述。研究是根据诸如规划决策类型、研究目的和护理环境等标准进行分类的。我们分析使用的建模方法、目标、约束和模型解决方案。我们发现，与其他医疗保健相比，优化精神保健的应用尚处于早期阶段。讨论了精神卫生保健服务提供与其他服务之间的共性，并概述了未来的研究议程。我们发现，在特定的医疗环境优化现有的应用程序可以转移到精神卫生保健。还强调了解决精神保健服务所面临的具体问题的机会。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
