The global home healthcare market is growing rapidly due to aging populations, advancements in healthcare technology, and patient preference for home-based care. In this paper, we study the multi-day planning problem of simultaneously…

This paper addresses a realistic home health care and home care (HHC\&HC) problem which has become increasingly complex in the face of demographic aging and post-COVID-19 disruptions. The HHC\&HC sector, as the essential component of modern…

Nursing homes (NHs) are critical healthcare infrastructures for caring frail older adults with 24/7 formal care and personal assistance. Adequate NH resource planning is of great importance to ensure desired quality of care and resident…

The growing aging population has significantly increased demand for efficient home health care (HHC) services. This study introduces a Vehicle Routing and Appointment Scheduling Problem (VRASP) to simultaneously optimize caregiver routes…

Operational decisions in healthcare, logistics, and public policy increasingly involve algorithms that recommend candidate solutions, such as treatment plans, delivery routes, or policy options, while leaving the final choice to human…

This paper introduces the concept of task-splitting into home healthcare (HHC) routing and scheduling. It focuses on the design of routes and timetables for caregivers providing services at patients' homes. Task-splitting is the division of…

This study examines a home healthcare scheduling and routing problem (HHSRP) with a lunch break requirement. This problem especially consists of lunch break constraints for caregivers in addition to other typical features of the HHSRP in…

Home health care problems consist of scheduling visits to home patients by health professionals while following a series of requirements. This paper studies the Home Health Care Routing and Scheduling Problem, which comprises a…

The problem addressed in this paper is how to calculate the amount of personnel required to ensure the activity of a home health care (HHC) center on a tactical horizon. Design of quantitative approaches for this question is challenging.…

We propose stochastic optimization methodologies for a staffing and capacity planning problem arising from home care practice. Specifically, we consider the perspective of a home care agency that must decide the number of caregivers to hire…

Recently the patient centered medical home (PCMH) model has become a popular approach to deliver better care to patients. Current research shows that the most important key for succession of this method is to make balance between healthcare…

Recently the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model has become a popular team-based approach focused on delivering more streamlined care to patients. In current practices of medical homes, a clinical-based prediction frame is…

Allocation of scarce healthcare resources under limited logistic and infrastructural facilities is a major issue in the modern society. We consider the problem of allocation of healthcare resources like vaccines to people or hospital beds…

As an important means of providing medical services in developing countries and remote areas, Mobile Health Clinics (MHCs) focus on distributing medical supplies and providing basic health needs to underserved communities. In this paper, we…

Nursing homes are critical facilities for caring frail older adults with round-the-clock formal care and personal assistance. To ensure quality care for nursing home residents, adequate staffing level is of great importance. Current nursing…

Objective. To develop an automated, data-driven, and scale-flexible method to delineate HSAs and HRRs that are up-to-date, representative of all patients, and have the optimal localization of hospital visits. Data Sources. The 2011 State…

The optimization of complex medical appointment scheduling remains a significant operational challenge in multi-center healthcare environments, where clinical safety protocols and patient logistics must be reconciled. This study proposes…

One of the recently proposed strategies in health systems is providing services to patients at home, improving the service quality, besides reducing the health system costs. In the real world, some services, such as biological tests or…

Planning with preferences has been employed extensively to quickly generate high-quality plans. However, it may be difficult for the human expert to supply this information without knowledge of the reasoning employed by the planner and the…

We investigate computational and mechanism design aspects of scarce resource allocation, where the primary rationing mechanism is through waiting times. Specifically we consider allocating medical treatments to a population of patients.…
