	abstract = {This research tackles the problem of patient and process prioritization in a healthcare environment with limited resources. Considering the medical cardiology department of a large medical center, a holistic model is designed and developed towards optimizing the decisions of allocating the available resources to the patients in order to minimize patients{\textquoteright} waiting costs. Approximate Dynamic Programming techniques are applied to optimize the aforementioned decisions over time, as well as capture the heterogeneity of the patients.},
