In this paper we will investigate how to sequence surgical cases in a day-care facility so that multiple objectives are simultaneously optimized. The limited availability of resources and the occurrence of medical precautions, such as an additional cleaning of the operating room after the...

Organizing a medical facility efficiently is hard due to the numerous patient trajectories and their use of joint and scarce resources. Moreover, these trajectories tend to be complex and characterized by uncertain medical processes. In this paper, we will structure patient trajectories using...

Hospital capacity planning at the tactical level produces the optimal patient case mix that can be taken care of at a hospital with the associated time-phased allocation of resources. However, different generated scenarios may result in dissimilar effects on the delivery of health care when...

Hospital case mix and capacity planning involves the decision making both on patient volumes that can be taken care of at a hospital and on resource requirements and capacity management. In this research, to advance both the hospital resource efficiency and the health care service level, a...
