A RESOURCE ALLOCATION MODEL FOR HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATION

Abstract

 This Paper is devoted to the application of goal programming to medical care planning.  More 
specially, the chapter presents a goal programming resource allocation model for hospital administration.  It is 
possible to formulate a complex multi-year resource allocation model that serves the purpose of long-range 
horizon of one year.  It is felt that this limited scope will allow a clearer representation of the model 
development.  Once it is completed for one year, the basic model can be expanded for a longer planning 
horizon by forecasting parameter changes.
