Priority setting in critical care: a multicriteria approach to ranking access to Intensive Care Unit beds
The partial ranking proposed by PROMETHEE I showed that Patient 6 outranks all the patients within the set of alternatives. When the complete ranking was generated, aided by PROMETHEE II, Patient 6 remained as the alternative that outranks all the others. Therefore, considering the resource-constrained scenario, Patient 6 was recommended to be admitted. The proposed model formalized the decision-making process of prioritizing access to Adult Intensive Care Unit beds, ensuring transparency and rationality by structuring all relevant factors.
