Planning in Home Health Care Structures:A literature review

The good running of a Home Health Care Structure implies the resolution of several complex problems. In this literature review, we give an overview of current work dealing with planning activities in Home Health Care Structures, and more particularly routing and scheduling of caregivers. Since the patient is the heart of the decision-making system, the reviewed works often consider non-standard criteria and constraints, compared with other routing problems. We focus more particularly on these non-standard and practical aspects of the considered problems.
