Hospitals use very costly medical equipment like scanners, RMI, endoscopy equipment or operating rooms. In this paper, we propose a mixed integer model to schedule patients on different hospital resources they can need during their stay in a hospital. We study the case of multiple types of resources and for each type the existence of several parallel units. The objective is to minimize the sum of all patients' stays. We used LINGO11 solver, along with our mathematical formulation, to solve the problem. The results showed that, as expected for an NP-hard problem, the computational times rise exponentially with the size of the instances.
