A Multi-objective Patient Admission Planning Improving Resources Utilisation Under Bed Capacity Constraints
Résumé
In this research we schedule the admission of patients trying to smooth the utilization of diagnosis resources such as CT-scans and of surgical resources such as operating rooms. We also want to allocate a bed to each patient if possible in an adequate care unit taking into account the bed capacity of each care unit. We are faced with a bi-objective problem. The first objective minimizes the peak of resource demands and the second one minimizes the penalty cost due to inappropriate patient assignment to care units. We use a lexicographic method to solve this multi-objective model. The latter has been experimented and the results are discussed.
