Abstract
With the rising need for chemotherapy treatment exceeding the limited capacities of oncology clinics and hospitals efficient planning becomes crucial. For that, first stage is allocating patients to treatment days within the constraints of their treatment plans and hospital schedules. Second stage is preparing the daily appointment schedules of patients to maximize resource utilization and patient satisfaction considering nurse, chair, and other constraints.
Based on the observations at Hacettepe Oncology Hospital in Ankara, we present a compact deterministic Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model to address the first stage, known as the Outpatient Chemotherapy Planning (OCP) problem. The model accommodates multi objectives to comply the hospital policies and decision maker’s goals. We find that for any selected objective, the solutions retuned by our model outweigh the solutions currently implemented.
