This work presents a mixed-integer programming model to optimize patient admission scheduling in hospital networks, with the aim of improving bed assignment and coordination of care.

The Patient Admission Scheduling (PAS) process involves efficiently managing the admission of patients to specific beds within relevant departments while addressing all their medical needs over a defined time horizon. This study delves into PAS within hospital network, emphasizing the collaborative nature of their interactions. Collaborative interactions are a common challenge in hospitals, where they need to collaborate and share resources to allocate patients to a limited number of beds within a specified timeframe, ensuring all necessary medical conditions are met. To address this challenge, a mixed-integer mathematical programming model for the PAS problem within hospital network is proposed with the aim of minimizing a weighted sum of unsatisfied constraints.
