Allocating human resources among the services of a health care organization.
The problem of optimizing the allocation of human resources among the services of a health organization is explored. The suggested approach borrows from normative budgeting models (ADVISOR) and product portfolio matrices to derive an allocation rule that seems to offer a reasonable rationale for eliminating certain services and reallocating the available resources to other services. The authors describe the approach and its implementation.
