Abstract

In this study, the goal programming approach is discussed which is used in hospitals to allocate resources. Two linear goal-programming models are included in the process. One model fixes the ratio of different types of cases that doctors see each year, while the other translates case mix decisions into a set of practice changes for doctors. Decision-makers may use the models to find the optimal case mix that maximizes profitability for the institution while minimizing negative impacts on physician compensation and clinical workflow.

Keywords
