Emergency Resource Management in Response to Serious Infectious Diseases: A Literature Review

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1007-7375.2020.06.001

Abstract

Abstract: As the infectious disease network evolves, demands for emergency resource is time-varying and stochastic, implying that research for resource management is challenging. Hence, it is necessary to conduct literature review about the emergency resource management in response to infectious diseases. Firstly, model formulation and analysis on the epidemic network were introduced. Secondly, a survey of emergency resource management under epidemic was presented from four major research fields, i.e., resource allocation, location and logistic, inventory and supply chain management, and resource reorganization. Lastly, the existing researches were summarized and suggestions made for future research topics.

Key words: infectious diseases, emergency resource, epidemic network, resource management
