Modelling Cooperation in a Dynamic Healthcare System

Pathways to Good Healthcare Services and Patient Satisfaction: An Evolutionary Game Theoretical Approach

Spending by the UK's National Health Service (NHS) on independent healthcare treatment has been increased in recent years and is predicted to sustain its upward trend with the forecast of population growth. Some have viewed this increase as an attempt not to expand the patients' choices but to privatize public healthcare. This debate poses a social dilemma whether the NHS should stop cooperating with Private providers. This paper contributes to healthcare economic modelling by investigating the evolution of cooperation among three proposed populations: Public Healthcare Providers, Private Heal…

2 × 2对策对研究互惠合作和亲缘选择的适用性

On the suitability of the 2 x 2 games for studying reciprocal cooperation and kin selection

2x2博弈，特别是囚徒困境，已经被广泛用于互惠合作的研究，在较小程度上，亲属选择。本文探讨了适合的2 × 2游戏模型的合作，通过互惠和亲属选择的演变。这个检验并不局限于囚徒困境，而是包括其他非平凡的对称2 × 2博弈。我们表明，流行的囚徒困境建模社会和生物的相互作用是合理的，根据这些标准的优越性。事实上，囚徒困境是独一无二的，它为互惠合作和加性亲属选择利他主义提供了最简单的支持。然而，在选择特定的囚徒困境支付矩阵时仍然需要小心。本文回顾了汉密尔顿规则的应用，典型的利他主义的相互作用的非线性回报的影响，并得出新的结果的情况下，潜在的利他主义者和受益人的角色是分开的。在这样做的过程中，我们发现同样的均衡条件在亲属之间的连续博弈中成立，在角色的离散博弈中成立。

Modelling Hospital Strategies in City-Scale Ambulance Dispatching

The optimisation in the ambulance dispatching process is significant for patients who need early treatments. However, the problem of dynamic ambulance redeployment for destination hospital selection has rarely been investigated. The paper proposes an approach to model and simulate the ambulance dispatching process in multi-agents healthcare environments of large cities. The proposed approach is based on using the coupled game-theoretic (GT) approach to identify hospital strategies (considering hospitals as players within a non-cooperative game) and performing discrete-event simulation (DES) of…
