The
use of Operations Research techniques for problems in healthcare systems is
observed to get remarkable attention in recent years. In this study, problems
encountered in healthcare systems are taken into consideration and are
classified under the headings of planning, management and application. In order
to guide the researchers who will work on these issues, studies published
between the years
2007-2017 are evaluated according to their headings, solution methods and
applications on real life problems, and the applicability of Operation Research
over these problems is presented.
