    Area of Science:

    • Health Economics
    • Operations Research
    • Health Services Management

    Background:

    • Suboptimal allocation of healthcare assets contributes to rising costs in the health industry.
    • Efficient distribution of diagnostic technology is crucial for meeting population health needs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a goal programming model for optimal distribution of diagnostic-specific technology.
    • To ensure health service provision meets population needs, optimizes regional and hospital capacity, minimizes costs, and improves equipment access.

    Main Methods:

    • Employs goal programming principles to create an allocation model.
    • Considers multiple objectives including population health needs, service capacity, cost minimization, and access.

    Main Results:

    • The developed model provides a framework for equitable and efficient distribution of diagnostic technology.
    • Demonstrates how to balance competing objectives in resource allocation.
    • Explores practical applications and implications for healthcare management.

    Conclusions:

    • Optimizing diagnostic equipment allocation through goal programming can address healthcare cost pressures.
    • The model offers a systematic approach to enhance healthcare service delivery and resource utilization.
