This book is centered around the development of agile,

high-performing healthcare institutions that are well integrated into

their environment. The aim is to take advantage of artificial

intelligence, optimization and simulation methods to provide solutions

to prevent, anticipate, monitor and follow public health developments in

order to intervene at the right time, using tools and resources that

are both appropriate and effective.

The focus is on the people

involved – the patients, as well as medical, technical and

administrative staff – in an effort to provide an efficient healthcare

and working environment that meets safety, quality and productivity

requirements.

Heathcare Systems has been written by

healthcare professionals, researchers in science and technology as well

as in the social sciences and humanities from various French-speaking

countries. It explores the challenges and opportunities presented by

digital technology in our practices, organizations and management

techniques.
