APPLICATION OF THE GOAL PROGRAMMING METHOD IN HEALTH CARE

The Subject is the application of goal programming to the planning of medical care. The paper, in particular, introduces a resource allocation model for hospital management based on goal programming. In a health–care agency with insufficient human resources, the Goal Programming (GP) model will help in strategic planning and shipment. This study aims to delegate staff to the correct shift hours so that management can achieve the goal of lowering overall payroll costs while keeping patients happy. The data generated by a Midwest-based health-care agency is used to demonstrate a Goal Programming model. The objectives have been established and prioritized. In health-care organizations, the Goal Programming model implementation provides understanding of resources allocation planning functions. The proposed model can be easily applied to other HR planning processes.
