TLDR
The model result can be applicable to eliciting the perceptions, insights, and understanding of health-care decision-makers for strategic human resource planning.Abstract:
This paper deals with the development of a human resource planning (HRP) model for hospital laboratory personnel. External and organizational factors impacting the demand and supply of clinical laboratory personnel in an urban academic health center are identified by a Delphi process. These factors are structured into a hierarchy for the application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Computer software, Expert Choice, was used in model hierarchy development and judgmental elicitation process. The model result can be applicable to eliciting the perceptions, insights, and understanding of health-care decision-makers for strategic human resource planning.read more

The analytic hierarchy process in medical and health care decision making: A literature review
TL;DR: The AHP appears to be a promising support tool for shared decision making between patient and doctor, evaluation and selection of therapies and treatments, and the evaluation of health care technologies and policies.

Determining Patient Preferences for Remote Monitoring
TL;DR: Results indicated that sending users’ data automatically, availability of technical support, and price are key factors impacting patient’s decisions, implying that e-health service providers and designers should focus on the services that enable users to send measurement results automatically instead of manually.

Multicriteria decision analysis in oncology
TL;DR: There has been a growing interest in the development and application of alternative decision‐making frameworks within health care, including multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA), but applications of MCDA in oncology are lacking.

Potential pros and cons of external healthcare performance evaluation systems: real-life perspectives on iranian hospital evaluation and accreditation program
TL;DR: Besides rendering a tentative assessment of Iranian hospital evaluation program, the study provides those running external performance evaluations with a lens to scrutinize the virtues of their own evaluation systems through identifying the potential advantages and drawbacks of such programs.

The Analytic Hierarchy Process
Thomas L. Saaty,Kevin P. Kearns +1 more
TL;DR: Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as mentioned in this paper is a systematic procedure for representing the elements of any problem hierarchically, which organizes the basic rationality by breaking down a problem into its smaller constituent parts and then guides decision makers through a series of pairwise comparison judgments to express the relative strength or intensity of impact of the elements in the hierarchy.

A Scaling Method for Priorities in Hierarchical Structures
TL;DR: A method of scaling ratios using the principal eigenvector of a positive pairwise comparison matrix is investigated, showing that λmax = n is a necessary and sufficient condition for consistency.

Exploring optimization through hierarchies and ratio scales
TL;DR: This paper is an exploratory attempt to use an individual's understanding together with a way to convert his judgments to ratios to deal with optimization and compares outcomes with those obtained in traditional optimization theory without and with constraints.
