  Brief introduction:

  This talk focuses on the home health care routing and scheduling problem (HHCRSP), a field that has received much research attention in recent years. Briefly stated, HHCRSP is that of designing a set of routes used by caregivers to perform various services at patients' homes. Hence, care activities, i.e., patient visits, must be planned to decrease costs and to guarantee service quality while respecting several constraints. This talk provides an overview of recent OR models developed for the HHCRSP by identifying the most relevant features considered in the HHCRSP models, analyzing the existing literature according to the way the different studies formulate the constraints and objective functions, providing an overview of methods developed to solve the HHCRSP, and discussing future research directions.
