Abstract

We present a particle swarm optimization model in inpatient bed management. The management satisfies patient and hospital preferences in the allocation of beds in hospitals. The patient's interest is to be satisfied as much as possible with their bed preferences, such as private or general rooms. Meanwhile, hospitals prefer to receive patients from the same department in the same room, to minimize doctor and nurse movement and provide medical care efficiently. A formula is drawn out with the two interests in the objective function. The numerical results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
