Abstract: The overall objective of this thesis was to develop and validate mathematical and statistical methods to aid informed healthcare decision making by providing useful information readily available to help hospital staff, managers and policy makers to ensure the quality of elderly care while at the same time reducing the cost. As the result of the work of this thesis, holistic methods are proposed to facilitate understanding of the healthcare process dynamics and management, monitoring and performance measurement of healthcare systems (See the figure below). These models are illustrated and validated using three different datasets: a historical dataset on geriatric patients from an administrative database of a London Hospital, a nationwide dataset available from the English Hospital Episode Statistics database on stroke-related patients, and a 5 years’ retrospective dataset of stroke-related patients admitted to the Belfast City Hospital. In summary my thesis proposes models to make important information readily available to hospital staff, care managers and policy makers to aid strategic decision making the implementation of strategies for effective care management and improvement.
