Abstract
The hospital supply chain performance is a concept that qualifies the good governance, the continuous improvement and the optimization of human and material resources of the hospital system. Thus, several performance analysis methods have been proposed for qualifying organizational flows and resources management. The main goal of the present study is to expose a literature review of the main graphical modeling and performance analysis techniques used in different research projects in the hospital field. The literature review will be analyzed and complemented by a classification study of the previous techniques. It is about a review in which will be proposed a computer platform based on Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis. This platform uses fuzzy pairwise comparisons and cross-sorting methods. Finally, the classification study is chosen in order to highlight the most adapted techniques to the different characteristics and components of the hospital system as part of the overall support decision process.
Highlights
Healthcare system challenges aren’t limited to provide high-level service to patients at all costs, but it include optimization of hospitals expenses by decreasing costs and increasing productivity of resources.for succeeding these challenges, the hospital decision makers must understand the complexity of the healthcare system at different levels
We propose in this paper, the multi-Criteria decision analysis based on fuzzy pairwise comparisons to succeed the making decision process dedicated for choosing the best modeling methods
The global methodology adopted in this work for analyzing the literature review and developing the decision support platform is summarized on the following steps: Step 1: To look for the modeling methods used in the hospital system literature
Summary
Healthcare system challenges aren’t limited to provide high-level service to patients at all costs, but it include optimization of hospitals expenses by decreasing costs and increasing productivity of resources. The authors of [2] explain that the improvement needs to be continuous by analyzing continually the performance in order to highlight aspects and action variables that influence directly the hospital system For this purpose, several research works presented in the literature have treated the performance analysis concept in the hospital field and have used to this purpose different modeling methods. Our main work is based on the research in the literature of the several modeling methods, nature of stakeholders in their uses and recommendations of experts concerning their performances and limitations For this reason, we propose in this paper, the multi-Criteria decision analysis based on fuzzy pairwise comparisons to succeed the making decision process dedicated for choosing the best modeling methods.
