The conference will be held at the
Centre Hospitalier Saint-Joseph Saint-Luc,
20, Quai Claude Bernard, 69007 Lyon, France
The Hospital Saint Joseph Saint Luc is located in the heart of the city, along the Rhone. Its innovative concept, the technical sophistication of its equipment and the expertise of its employees make it an efficient and patient respectful hospital. The Hospital provides, through its partnership with other institutions, a patient comprehensive care, ensuring continuity of care. Born of the merger between St. Joseph Hospital and St. Luc Hospital on 1 January 1993, it is managed by a Law 1901 Association, its Management Board Chairman is Michel GRECO. All care is provided in the conventional rate without extra billing. Patients are supported by senior practitioners. Being a private Health Care Establishment of Collective Interest (ESPIC), he participates in the public hospital service and is non for-profit. As such, it is entitled to receive donations. He is a member of the FEHAP (Fédération des Etablissements Hospitaliers et d'Aide à la Personne).
For 2013, the number of patient stays (excluding dialysis) amounted to 24,705, the number of passages in the Emergency Department was 36,653, 8,154 procedures were performed in the operating rooms and 112,234 consultations were carried out with the help of 1,116 employees. The Hospital Saint-Joseph Saint-Luc has a capacity of 150 medical beds, 70 surgical beds, 21 maternity beds, 12 intensive care beds, 10 continuing care beds, 8 coronary care beds, 15 beds for burn victims, 13 beds for acute-care inpatient hospitalizations, 35 ambulatory beds and 8 positions for Dialysis. It offers a wide variety of specialties and services such as: emergency, intensive care, cardiology, burn victims, surgery, oncology, maternity, pharmacy, biology, etc.
The Hospital Saint-Joseph Saint-Luc is organized around 6 levels. All invasive surgical activities are grouped in Level 2, creating a central clinical support and operating theatre (11 operating rooms excluding specialized wards) with integration of interventional imaging, MRI and CT scan acts. In addition, the maternity obstetrics (21 beds) is adjacent to the operating rooms and connected to the resuscitation unit of Level 1, to allow a greater security of anesthetic presence. Finally, the organization and the planning of the block are coordinated by a reservation center in order to optimize beds and operating rooms management.
The DISP (Decision & Information Sciences for Production Systems) laboratory, EA 4570, belongs to several institutions (INSA-Lyon, University Claude Bernard Lyon 1 and University Lumiere Lyon 2) and was created on 1st January 2011. It succeeds to the LIESP (Laboratoire d'Informatique pour l'Entreprise et les Systemes de Production ) laboratory created in 2007. Our research deals with the design and application of decision-making methods and information systems in order to improve the performance of systems producing goods and services, networked companies and global supply chains. The originality of this laboratory is its skills both in Industrial Engineering and Computer Science for companies. These skills allow studying the organization and control of production systems in all their dimensions, viz., technical, organizational and human.
The objective of the DISP researches in health care systems is to specify new scientific approaches for health care system design and control. We deal with hospitals and more generally with health care networks which involve general practitioners, hospitals, rest homes, home health care structures… The scientific domains are: network layout, resource location and dimensioning, human and material resource planning, scheduling… The health care management problems investigated are: operating theatre control, hospital regrouping management, emergency network reengineering, home care resource coordination, hospital supply chain, emergency management plan… The problem optimizations are based on economical, human and environmental criteria.
