Allocation efficace des ressources hospitalières à l’aide de techniques d’optimisation Étude de cas : Hôpital Bouzidi Lakhdar

Abstract

This research addresses one of the most important operational issues, namely the question of resource allocation in emergency departments. This challenge consists in allocating resources in accordance with needs, taking into account patient severity. The main objective of this work is to improve the management of human and material resources in emergency departments. A resource allocation system has been adopted as the main mechanism in the proposed mathematical model. This model is based on integer linear programming to improve the distribution of resources while integrating the degree of severity of the patient’s condition. The resolution of the model was carried out using an intlinprog function under MATLAB software. The results obtained show a significant reduction in resource consumption, as well as a significant improvement in the organization of patient flow. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, real data were used, collected from the Bouzidi Lakhdar Hospital, located in the wilaya of Bordj Bou Arreridj.
