Abstract
The overarching objective of the research described in this dissertation is to analyze some pressing healthcare problems in various areas, ranging from health IT to payment models and healthcare operations, using mathematical and economic models. Analytical models have been at the forefront of the recent transformational efforts in healthcare (see e.g., Reid et al. (2005), Obermeyer and Emanuel (2016), Romeijn and Zenios (2008), Bates et al. (2014)). The dissertation comprises three chapters corresponding to three research projects: 1) econometric evaluation of Health Information Exchanges, 2) game-theoretical modeling of the Bundled Payments financing model, and 3) queueing algorithm design for Bed Management with overflows in hospitals.
