Literature survey, Report 2005.TL.6935, Transport Engineering and Logistics.


This report is on problems and potential solutions for the healthcare in the Netherlands. It starts off with a brief description of the healthcare industry, and of historical, present and future aspects which might influence healthcare. Subsequently, some problems which are present in Dutch healthcare, like waiting lists, are subdivided into categories of their possible causes.

Based on knowledge of logistics and production technology, suggestions for analysing where bottlenecks are and suggestions for potential (partial) solutions to the problem are made.
