Structural Insights and an IP-based Solution Method for Patient-to-room Assignment Under Consideration of Single Room Entitlements
Patient-to-room assignment (PRA) is a scheduling problem in decision support for large hospitals. This work proposes Integer Programming (IP) formulations for dynamic PRA, where either full, limited or uncertain information on incoming patients is available. The applicability is verified through a computational study. Results indicate that large, real world instances can be solved to a … Read more
