The case mix planning problem deals with selecting the ideal mix and volume of patients in a hospital and is an important tool for strategic and tactical hospital planning. Case mix planning aims to match patients with the appropriate level of care and resources to improve the quality of care, reduce costs, and increase the overall efficiency of hospitals. The choice of the patient mix directly impacts the potential number of medical residents to be trained by a hospital because the patient mix is related to the content relevant to residents' training (specific number of procedures). In order to take a holistic view of the medical resident training in the hospital, it is necessary to consider case mix planning and analyze it from the perspective of medical resident planning. In this project, we will formulate the integrated problem as a mixed integer program and analyze different settings.
