Agent-based Approach of Multi-Structures Homecare Planning Problem

Abstract

In the context of population aging and the significant demographic changes, the elder shares rise throughout the world. However, the increasing share of older people has many social and economic implications. In the health care context, life expectancy is a source of concern for policymakers; the income growth of the elderly increases health expenditures, and strongly increases expenditures, especially on long-term care. In response to those implications, a growing interest in the home care organizations, transitions, and concerns have approved. Taking advantage of the inherent characteristics of the Multi-agent system, this work introduces a distributed framework to improve the organizational decision in the home care sector, particularly, the planning management of a set of patients shared between multiple homecare structures. In order, to facilitate complex daily activities, and to improve the quality of planning solutions in the home care sector.
