Simulation optimization approach for patient scheduling at destination medical centers
作者：
Highlights：
• Admission planning reduces the average flow time of patients.
• Total cost is reduced with admission planning and patient sequencing.
• Average flow time decreases when more deviation from preferred start day is allowed.
