CRITERIA SUPPORTING HOSPITAL

Developed by Thomas Saaty, The analytic hierarchy process, AHP provides a proven, effective tools to address complex solutions and can assist in identifying and weighting selection criteria, analysis of data collected for the criteria and expediting the decision making process. AHP is a general problem-solving methodology is useful for complex decisions on multiple criteria with variables that do not have exact numerical consequences. [3], AHP is based on the innate human ability to make informed decisions about small problems. It has been implemented in a wide range of decisions and planning projects in nearly 20 countries

1. Which of the two elements is a more important criterion for a higher level?

2. How much, using 1.9 scales shown in Table 1 for a left over the element at the top of the matrix?

If the item is on the left is less important than at the beginning of the matrix, the reciprocal is entered in the appropriate position of the matrix. (Always remember to note that the smallest element is always used as a unit and more is estimated at several of the unit (Carlsson, 1995). Then, looking at the paired comparisons, priorities can be calculated and displayed on the right of the matrix. In addition, for a set of n elements in the matrix, n (n-1) / 2 comparisons should, however, since only half of them back (N2-N) / 2 judgments are needed. Criteria and sub-criteria according to their relative importance with respect to the parent element comparison. For example, in the first matrix comparing the three benefits criteria, beneficiaries moderately more important than the institutional advantages, so they are assigned to number three. Number three is in (1, 2) position. The return value is automatically entered in the (2, 1) position. [6]
