Biography
Professor Patrick's research interests are in applying the methods of operations research to improve the efficiency of health care management. His PhD thesis involved a Markov decision process model that sought to determine intelligent multi-priority patient scheduling policies with the goal of maintaining reasonable priority-specific wait times. His current research interests are in capacity planning within health care as well as continuing to explore scheduling challenges. On the theoretical side, Professor Patrick is interested in seeking to advance the field of approximate dynamic programming.
Professor Patrick is a member of INFORMS and CORS. He is also an affiliate with the Centre for Health Care Management at UBC.
