Construction of a composite Hospital Admission Index using the aggregated weights of criteria

The issue of age difference in hospital admission should be given special attention since it affects the structure of hospital care and treatments. Patients of different age groups should be given different priority in service provision. Due to crucial time and limited resources, healthcare managers...
