A staff allocation model for mental health facilities

J P Lyons, J P Young

    Health Services Research
    |January 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study introduces an objective staff allocation model for psychiatric hospitals, using patient needs data for efficient resource deployment and long-range planning. The model aids in testing operational policies before critical personnel decisions are made.

    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Management
    • Operations Research
    • Psychiatric Services

    Background:

    • Staff allocation in psychiatric hospitals often relies on subjective opinions.
    • Efficient resource management is crucial for optimal patient care and operational efficiency.
    • Existing methods may lack objective frameworks for policy testing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present an objective model for staff allocation in large psychiatric hospitals.
    • To provide a framework for testing alternative staff operating policies.
    • To support both short-term deployment and long-range planning decisions.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a staff allocation model based on objective data.
    • Utilizing patient needs and staff functioning patterns for model inputs.
    • Employing mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) algorithm.

    Main Results:

    • The model offers an objective basis for staff deployment decisions.
    • It allows for the testing of various staff operating policies.
    • The approach is cost-effective with minimal computer running time.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed model provides a data-driven, objective framework for psychiatric hospital staff allocation.
    • It serves as a valuable tool for operational efficiency, policy testing, and strategic planning.
    • The use of MILP ensures accessibility and efficiency in implementation.
