A mixed integer linear programing approach to perform hospital capacity assessments
作者：
Highlights：
• Analytical decision support models are introduced for hospital capacity analysis.
• Patient care plans are used to describe different types of patients.
• Capacity querying, buffering and sensitivity analysis methods have been devised.
• Resource and bed-space assignments are by-products of the model.
• The capacity models have been comprehensively tested on a real life case study.
