    A computer-aided allocation system was developed for London Hospital

    Area of Science:

    • Operations Research in Healthcare Management
    • Medical Education Resource Allocation
    • Hospital Administration Optimization

    Background:

    • The number of pre-registration house posts at London Hospital increased significantly in 1973.
    • Manual allocation of these posts became time-consuming and complex.
    • This necessitated a more efficient and systematic approach to resource management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and implement a computer-aided scheme for allocating house posts.
    • To address the inefficiencies of manual allocation methods.
    • To provide an optimal and flexible solution for the hospital's staffing needs.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a computer-aided allocation scheme by the Operational Research Unit.
    • Discussion of various alternative allocation methodologies.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Implementation and testing of the designed algorithm with real allocation data.

    • Main Results:

    • The computer-aided scheme was adopted and successfully implemented.
    • Applicant satisfaction: 61-70% obtained one of their top three choices.
    • Consultant satisfaction: 72-94% obtained one of their top three choices.

    Conclusions:

    • The new allocation scheme significantly improved efficiency and satisfaction.
    • Key advantages include extreme flexibility in weighting applicant/consultant preferences.
    • The system provides an optimal solution based on specified numerical criteria.
