A Markov decision process model of allocating emergency medical resource among multi-priority injuries
2017
International Journal of Mathematics in Operational Research (IJMOR)
Preserved Fulltext
We develop a Markov Decision Process model with the objective of maximizing life saving. The delay costs are taken into account in the model. Then, we give an effective algorithm. ...
Therefore, this paper focuses on the emergency medical resources allocation problem in hospitals at the beginning of disaster. ...
