    2019, Decision Support Systems
    Citation Excerpt :

However, under the current pressure to offer more personalized treatments and pathways, and improve patients' experiences [26], effective healthcare service planning should start from a more careful analysis of trends in citizens' demand for healthcare services, which includes the service mix and dependencies, geographical distribution of the service demand, and patterns in patients' choices of healthcare providers.
