Reviewer 2 Report

Unfortunately, the authors apparently did not accept the suggestions given to them by me in the review of the previous version of the work, which were:

1.Abstract

1.1. Abstract must content concise review of the article and obligatory explained it's cocrete contribution to scientific knowladge.

2. Introduction

2.1 Introduction has unnecessary wider  content about existing methodologies in review of existing literature for solving considered problem in the paper  without deals purpose of the work and its significance, including specific hypotheses being tested

3.The paper has unnecessary big section 2.Background and lacks with obligatory sections Materials & Methods, Results, Conclusions which are given in Instruction for authors

5.In section 5.Conclusion more detailed description of possible future work is lacking.

Also, authors accepted only my fourth suggestion from the previous review:

4.The paper lacks a comparative evaluation of the proposed solution  with known others as well as it's eventual limitations,

by adding a subsection called Evaluation with two paragraphs, but they gave an incomplete and inadequate evaluation through a comparison with some other models and consequently drew a problematic conclusion:

„However, our model has been compared to a couple of models that evaluate hospitals to determine if it is logical and accurate. This comparison revealed that our model is somehow logical but could be adjusted to result in more accurate re-sults.“???
