Fair allocation of personal protective equipment to health centers during early phases of a pandemic

Risk-based allocation of COVID-19 personal protective equipment under supply shortages

“…To our knowledge, aside from Dönmez, Turhan, Karsu, Kara, & Karaşan (2022) , no other study has modeled infection risk as a function of allocation decisions for multiple PPEs. Dönmez et al.…”

“…To our knowledge, aside from Dönmez, Turhan, Karsu, Kara, & Karaşan (2022) , no other study has modeled infection risk as a function of allocation decisions for multiple PPEs. Dönmez et al. (2022) develop a bi-objective nonlinear resource allocation model for allocating surgical masks and respirators to hospitals with limited supply.…”

Long-term spatial and population-structured planning of non-pharmaceutical interventions to epidemic outbreaks

“…These typically include vaccine allocations, but under the recent COVID-19 pandemic a wide variety of logistics operations are examined, i.e. personal protective equipment allocation ( Dönmez et al, 2022 ), ventilator distribution ( Yin et al, 2021 ), or patient allocation to facilities ( Hosseini-Motlagh et al, 2021 ); see also the review by Queiroz et al (2020) . These studies derive discrete-time epidemic models to include them in resource allocation models.…”

Expanding growers' choice of plant disease management options can promote suboptimal social outcomes

“…There may be many possible solutions for a given problem, which combine to give a Pareto front (a set of solutions with equally good outcomes). Pareto fronts have been calculated to visualize the trade‐offs involved in the recent coronavirus pandemic (Yousefpour et al, 2020 ), as well as to evaluate retrospectively responses to the 1918 influenza pandemic (Velde, 2022 ) and to understand better how to allocate healthcare equipment optimally during an epidemic (Donmez et al, 2022 ). In plant disease modelling, they have been used to investigate the trade‐offs between crop productivity and environmental impacts (Zaffaroni & Bevacqua, 2022 ).…”
