A multiobjective stochastic program for hospital bed planning

In this paper, we study hospital bed capacity management for a set of existing hospitals when the demand for beds is random. We propose a multiobjective stochastic program model to assign beds to hospital departments. We consider three objective functions to be minimized, which are the cost of creat...
