Health stakeholders in multiple countries are discussing the need to devote more resources to health, to redistribute resources, to devise actions and policies to improve efficiency, access and quality, in line with promoting resilient health systems that balance access to care with innovation and sustainability.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, it is consensual among health stakeholders that systems and institutions should evolve towards value-based health care<\/a>. In order to address these challenges, tools that provide methods from both management science and operational research are required. This includes tools such as simulation, optimisation, structuring methods and multi-criteria decision analysis, which have shown to be essential to model health systems and improvements, and to evaluate changes. Nevertheless, the use of such methods by health organisations and decision-makers is still limited.<\/p>\n
