Abstract

Home healthcare service provides daily medical services at patients' homes. The service aims to satisfy the patients' requirements which must be done by qualified staff visiting them at the right time. This paper proposes a new framework integrating the heuristic search and fuzzy logic with knowledge acquisition to develop reliable and effective decision to match qualified staff to offer the service with the minimum cost, under preference consideration and feasible time-slots. The framework is designed based on the hierarchical approach dividing the system into two layers: high and low level. The high level is responsible for retrieving information, such as patients' locations and operation cost while the lower level with fuzzy logic to estimate a set of the level of staff selection to create the service plan. Our empirical study of 40 medical tasks with eight carers shows that the framework has a potential to provide improved solutions than the original.

家庭医疗服务资源选择系统开发的启发式和模糊调度协同知识获取

家庭医疗服务在患者家中提供日常医疗服务。这项服务旨在满足患者的要求，必须由合格的工作人员在适当的时间探访患者。本文提出了一种新的框架，将启发式搜索和模糊逻辑与知识获取相结合，以制定可靠有效的决策，在偏好考虑和可行的时间段内，匹配合格的员工以最低成本提供服务。该框架是基于分层方法设计的，将系统分为两层：高层和底层。高层负责检索信息，如患者的位置和手术费用，而下层则用模糊逻辑来估计一组人员的选择水平，以创建服务计划。我们对8名护理人员的40项医疗任务进行的实证研究表明，该框架有可能提供比原来更好的解决方案。

期刊介绍： The objective of IJASM is to establish an effective channel of communication between academia, industry and persons concerned with the design and development of systems. Change is eternal and perpetual, irrespective of type of system. Systems created in the course of the advance of human civilization need to be functionally and operationally sustainable amid changes in technological, political, socio-economical, financial, cultural and other environmental challenges. IJASM aims to promote and harmonize knowledge developments in the emerging fields of agile systems research, sustainability and vulnerability analysis, risk assessments methodologies, complex systems science, e-organisation and e-supply chain management, with emphasis on the international dimension, particularly breaking cultural barriers, and on national contexts, globalisation and new business practices. As such, we aim to publish papers presenting new research, innovative theoretical approaches, changes in agile management paradigms, and action (both examples of successes and failures as long as there are important lessons to be learned) from leading scholars and practitioners. Papers generally fall into two broad categories: those grounded in theory and/or papers using scientific research methods (e.g., reports of original empirical studies, models, critical reviews of existing empirical research, theory pieces that clearly extend current thinking); and those focusing on innovative agile approaches that are based on well reasoned extensions of existing research, experiential knowledge, or exemplary cases (e.g., thought pieces, case studies, etc).
