Summary
This study proposes a fair profit-sharing model for diagnostic laboratory networks using Shapely value, considering member efficiency and sample size. This approach enhances network performance and ensures long-term survival.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Management
- Network Analysis
- Operations Research
Background:
- Networked business models offer innovative solutions for market needs.
- Diagnostic laboratory networks require fair profit-sharing mechanisms to ensure member participation and network viability.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a decision-making model for equitable profit distribution among diagnostic laboratory network members.
- To enhance patient value through a well-structured network of laboratories.
Main Methods:
- A novel approach to calculate member efficiency scores for network member identification and classification.
- Utilizing Shapley value, based on efficiency scores, for fair profit allocation among network members.
Main Results:
- Member efficiency and sample volume (blood and urine) are critical factors in determining profit share.
- Laboratory network members receive samples based on performance, directly impacting their net income.
Conclusions:
- Shapley value facilitates fair profit sharing in laboratory networks, improving overall performance.
- This model can create incentive strategies for members, promoting the network's long-term sustainability.

Physiological and compartmental models are valuable tools used in studying biological systems. These models rely on differential equations to maintain mass balance within the system, ensuring an accurate representation of the dynamic processes at play.
Physiological models take a detailed approach by considering specific molecular processes. They can predict drug distribution, metabolism, and elimination changes, providing a comprehensive understanding of how drugs interact with the body.

The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.

The process of hypothesis testing based on the P-value method includes calculating the P- value using the sample data and interpreting it.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses: a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...

In healthcare diagnostics, laboratory tests play a crucial role in identifying and diagnosing a wide range of medical conditions. However, interpreting test results is not always straightforward. An abnormal test result does not always confirm the presence of a disease, just as a normal result does not guarantee its absence. To assess the reliability of these diagnostic tools, healthcare practitioners rely on two key statistical indicators: sensitivity and specificity.
