Abstract

We need to admit in a Home Health Care structure a massive influx of patients requiring an early discharge from conventional hospitals, due to a terrorist attack. Such situation requires to free hospitalization beds at the earliest for the victims. The early discharge patients are transferable to the Home Health Care (HHC) structure from a given release date and until a due date in order to reach the patient's home and find the caregiver. The home Health care structure must plan the patient admissions with the objective to admit as soon as possible the most victims in conventional hospitals using the least amount of HHC human resources during the discharges of hospitalized patients. An admission-planning model is proposed, the bi-objective problem modelled is solved with CPLEX.
