A hybrid genetic algorithm-queuing multi-compartment model for optimizing inpatient bed occupancy and associated costs

Conclusion Encoding the whole information provided by both the queuing system and the cost model through chromosomes, the genetic algorithm represents an efficient tool in optimizing the bed allocation and associated costs. The methodology can be extended to different medical departments with minor modifications in structure and parameterization. Graphical abstract
