Long-haul shipment optimization for less-than-truckload carriers

REA Auditado

Less-than-truckload (LTL) carriers supply freight transportation services for small parcel shipments. These companies consolidate multiple shipments in vehicles to guarantee the efficiency of the system. A method for LTL carriers is presented to solve the long-haul routing design problem with capacitated distribution centers and time-constrained shipments. The method uses direct, hub-and-spoke, and stopover strategies to allocate shipments in the set of routes. The resolution method is based on a tabu search algorithm.

Dollars and Performance: Treating Alcohol Misuse in Maine

REA Auditado

If public funds are allocated efficiently, then an increase in funding should improve the performance of substance abuse treatment programs. In the data used in this paper, performance (measured as abstinence rates) and expenditures per patient are not positively correlated. One explanation is that funding is endogeneous, i.e. programs treating more difficult patients receive more funding. The data comes from all Maine´s outp/atient drug-free programs that received public funding between 1991 and 1994.

Diagnosis and treatment of community-acquired lower respiratory tract infections : Strategies for efficient management

REA Auditado

Lower respiratory tract infections are an important cause for morbidity and mortality and associated with considerable costs and antibiotic consumption, especially in patients needing hospitalization. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate diagnostic and treatment strategies to decrease costs and control antibiotic use in hospitalized patients. Early identification of patients with high risk a for a complicated course could prevent unnecessary ICU admissions, complications or deaths. However, current definitions of severe CAP do not seem suitable to guide pneumonia management.

Costs and effects of MRSA control in Dutch hospitals

REA Auditado

In the Netherlands the prevalence of MRSA among S. aureus bloodstream isolates was as low as 0.7% in 2008. This low prevalence is maintained by a nationwide MRSA policy (also called search and destroy), that has been employed in Dutch hospitals since 1984. In the last years we have witnessed major changes in the Dutch MRSA epidemiology. Since 2003 a new MRSA strain (ST398), which originated from livestock, emerged in the Netherlands.

Effects of heart failure management programmes

REA Auditado

Abstract of the thesis “Effects of heart failure management programmes” The main purpose of the studies presented in this thesis, was to assess whether an intensive 1-year intervention at a heart failure clinic for patients with heart failure, NYHA classification III or IV, reduces the incidence of hospitalisation for worsening heart failure and/or all cause mortality and improves functional status and quality of life at acceptable costs and whether the observed effects may be (partly) attributable to beneficial changes in patient adherence to drug therapy.

Cross-border purchases of health services : a case study on Austria and Hungary

REA Auditado

This paper explores the structure of
cross-border health purchasing between Austria and Hungary
and determines the size of this phenomenon as well as the
barriers to a further increase. Austrian patients may
receive health care treatment in Hungary in three different
ways. First, patients may receive benefits in the context of
the European Community Regulations 1408/71 and 574/72
(Category I patients).
