A Multi-criteria Optimization Approach to Health Care Tasks Scheduling Under Resources Constraints

A Multi-criteria Optimization Approach to Health Care Tasks Scheduling Under Resources Constraints

We are interested in this paper in studying and developing a decision support tool for multi-skill health care tasks scheduling in the Pediatric Emergency Department. We use an evolutionary algorithm and we propose the use of fuzzy logic to formulate an adapted fitness function. We consider the pote...
