Home health care routing and scheduling problem with different groups of patients and health workers

Elham Samadpour et al.

Summary: This study aims to address the routing and scheduling problem of health workers in home health care management system, successfully reducing costs and improving efficiency through the development of a mixed-integer linear programming model. The study fills the gap of previous research that often focuses on issues involving only one group of health professionals, by considering situations involving multiple groups of health professionals.

Addressing consistency and demand uncertainty in the Home Care planning problem

Paola Cappanera et al.

Summary: Optimizing home care services involves addressing arrival time consistency, person-oriented consistency, and demand uncertainty in order to optimize assignment, scheduling, and routing decisions over a multi-day time horizon. Consistent time schedules, person-oriented consistency, and addressing demand uncertainty are crucial for improving service quality. Introducing consistency and demand uncertainty in pattern generation policies is crucial for efficiently computing high-quality solutions.

Home service routing and appointment scheduling with stochastic service times

Yang Zhan et al.

Summary: This study addresses an integrated routing and appointment scheduling problem with stochastic service times to minimize total costs. A mixed-integer program model and an L-shaped method are developed, along with a heuristic algorithm for effectively solving large-scale instances of the problem. The proposed methods demonstrate effectiveness and efficiency through computational experiments with randomly generated instances.

A matheuristic algorithm for stochastic home health care planning

Erfaneh Nikzad et al.

Summary: Efficient human resource planning is crucial for designing an effective home health care system, which includes decisions on districting/zoning, staff dimensioning, resource assignment, scheduling, and routing. A two-stage stochastic mixed integer model is proposed in this study, taking into account uncertainties in travel and service times, with a novel algorithm developed for solving it. Additionally, an algorithm based on progressive hedging and Frank and Wolf algorithms is developed to reduce computational time for the second phase. The algorithm's efficiency and accuracy are verified through numerical experiments, demonstrating its capability to solve large instances.

Hybrid metaheuristics for solving a home health care routing and scheduling problem with time windows, synchronized visits and lunch breaks

Wenheng Liu et al.

Summary: The home health care routing and scheduling problem (HHCRSP) involves assigning caregivers to patients' homes and optimizing visits, while considering constraints such as synchronized visits, lunch breaks, and flexible departure modes. This study presents a mixed-integer programming model and four hybrid metaheuristics, with results showing that the hybrid genetic general variable neighborhood search (HGGVNS) performs the best among the algorithms. Sensitivity analyses were also conducted to evaluate the impact of various factors on final solutions.

Home health care routing and scheduling problem with the consideration of outpatient services

Yanfeng Li et al.

Summary: The family doctor contract service in China provides home health care for the elderly and patients with mobility difficulties, as well as outpatient services for ordinary patients in community care centers. By formulating the problem as a mixed-integer nonlinear and convex programming model, the study aims to minimize travel costs and waiting penalties while maximizing patient preference satisfaction. Results show that a hybrid genetic algorithm can provide high-quality solutions efficiently.
