A co-authored research article by Dr. Sırma Karakaya, Assistant Professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering, has been published in Omega, one of the leading international journals in the field of operations research. . The study was conducted in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Burcu Balçık of Özyeğin University and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Evrim D. Güneş of Koç University.
The study proposes a two-stage stochastic optimization model that establishes pre-disaster alliance networks among hemodialysis clinics to ensure continuity of care for patients with end-stage kidney disease following disasters. The proposed approach enables the efficient reassignment of patients to operational clinics under uncertain post-disaster conditions, thereby enhancing the resilience of healthcare systems. A case study based on the hemodialysis network in Istanbul, Türkiye, demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed methodology and provides insights for improving disaster preparedness in healthcare.
