Evaluation of a Multi-Agent System for Hospital Patient Scheduling
The problem of patient scheduling in hospitals is characterized by high uncertainty and dynamics in patient treatments. Additional complexity in the planning and coordination processes is caused due to interdependencies of autonomous and administratively distinct units which are involved in the treatment of a patient. For real-world scheduling scenarios traditional scheduling methods are often ...
متن کاملPatient-Centered Appointment Scheduling Using Agent-Based Simulation
Enhanced access and continuity are key components of patient-centered care. Existing studies show that several interventions such as providing same day appointments, walk-in services, after-hours care, and group appointments, have been used to redesign the healthcare systems for improved access to primary care. However, an intervention focusing on a single component of care delivery (i.e. impro...
متن کاملDynamic multi-appointment patient scheduling for radiation therapy
Seeking to reduce the potential impact of delays on radiation therapy cancer patients such as psychological distress, deterioration in quality of life and decreased cancer control and survival, and motivated by inefficiencies in the use of expensive resources, we undertook a study of scheduling practices at the British Columbia Cancer Agency (BCCA). As a result, we formulated and solved a disco...
متن کاملHome Health Care: A Multi-Agent System Based Approach to Appointment Scheduling
This paper examines the application of sweep-coverage mechanism of multi-agent systems (MAS) in a home healthcare setting. The MAS is a powerful tool which acts in an autonomous and intelligent approach in order to tackle the issues of large size and complexity of systems. Although the MAS are vastly utilized in multiple healthcare domains, in this research for the first time the sweepcoverage ...
متن کاملExchanging Data and Ontological Definitions in Multi-Agent-Contexts Systems
In recent work we have extended DACMAS, which is a formalization of ontology-based and commitment-based multi-agent systems. Our extension allows a system to include not only agents but also external contexts. The objective is that of modeling real-world situations where agents not only interact among themselves, but also consult external heterogeneous dataand knowledge-bases to extract useful ...
