This article describes a model for allocating staff within a large psychiatric hospital. The model provides an objective framework within which one can test alternative staff operating policies before making critical decisions concerning the employment of one category of personnel as opposed to another. It is based on objective data describing patient needs and staff functioning patterns, rather than subjective opinions concerning staff deployment. Besides being useful for the short-term deployment of staff and budgetary resources, it can also be used as a long-range planning tool for testing modifications in policy decisions and budget proposals. The algorithm employed, mixed-integer linear programming, is readily available; computer costs and running time are relatively minimal.
本文描述了一种在大型精神病医院内分配员工的模型。该模型提供了一个客观框架，在此框架内，人们可以在做出关于某类人员雇佣而非另一类人员雇佣的关键决策之前，测试替代的员工运营政策。它基于描述患者需求和员工工作模式的客观数据，而非关于员工部署的主观意见。除了可用于员工和预算资源的短期部署外，它还可作为一种长期规划工具，用于测试政策决策和预算提案中的修改。所采用的算法，即混合整数线性规划，很容易获得；计算机成本和运行时间相对较低。
