*Call for Papers*

*Service Science Special Issue:*

*Advancing Health Services*

Coeditors: Lisa Maillart, University of Pittsburgh Maria Mayorga, North
Carolina State University

*Deadline for Submissions: March 15, 2017*

*Scope* Today’s healthcare delivery systems face a multitude of economic
and operational challenges including transitioning to value-based care,
transforming data into decisions, managing increasing drug prices,
improving shared decision making between providers and patients, responding
to industry consolidation, and providing care in resource-limited
environments. The focus of this special issue is to highlight
state-of-the-art research aimed at overcoming challenges such as these
through the design and analysis of existing and emerging healthcare
systems. We seek innovative applications of science, management, and
engineering that contribute to the current knowledge base on healthcare
services and processes. Preference will be given to rigorous,
interdisciplinary, data-driven approaches that demonstrate an improvement
in accessibility, delivery, and quality of healthcare services. In
particular, we invite papers from disciplines including operations
research, management science, computer science, statistics, economics, and
marketing that use analytical modeling or empirical studies to address
topics including, but not limited to the following: • Emergency medical
services (EMS) • Medical preparedness • Bed management/patient flow •
Health facility location • Appointment scheduling and staffing •
Personalized medicine • Preventive and predictive medicine • Telemedicine •
Health IT • Mental health • Diagnostics
