Abstract:
:Recognizing that the suboptimal allocation of plant assets contribute to the inflationary pressures in the health industry, this paper employs the principles of goal programming to develop a model for distributing diagnostic-specific technology among potential recipients in a given geographic region. The model allocates diagnostic-specific equipment so as to ensure that the provision of the related service satisfies the health needs of the population at risk, the capacity to provide the service in the region and in the hospital is optimal, the service is provided at minimum cost, and access to the equipment is satisfactory. An application and the practical implications of the model are also explored.
