    Research Handbook on Healthcare Operations: Present and Emerging Issues


    Editors:


    Hale Kaynak, Ph.D., The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley
    José A. Pagán, Ph.D., New York University School of Global Public Health


    Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing


    We are finalizing the contributor list for an upcoming Research Handbook on Healthcare Operations. We are seeking a small number of high-impact contributions that address critical emerging topics and strengthen both the scholarly and practical relevance of the volume.


    Priority topics for new contributions include (but are not limited to): healthcare operations strategy and system-level integration; politics and healthcare operations; replication research in healthcare operations; alternative theoretical perspectives (e.g., practice-based view, institutional perspectives); strategic capacity management in healthcare (e.g., handovers); and healthcare supply chain and sustainability-related operations issues (e.g., coordination across care networks, sustainable sourcing, resilience, and inter-organizational process integration). We also welcome innovative proposals that introduce fresh perspectives or address emerging issues in healthcare operations.


    Timeline:


    We will coordinate individually with contributors to ensure flexibility while maintaining coherence across the volume.


    Submission:


    Please send a brief expression of interest or a 200–300 word abstract to:

    hale.kaynak@utrgv.edu
    jose.pagan@nyu.edu


    We look forward to hearing from you.
