DETERMINING ROUTES BY VEHICLE ROTATION AT HOME HEALTHCARE SERVICES: A CASE STUDY IN STATE HOSPITAL

With the increasing aging of our country's population and improvements in the field of health, the home healthcare service operates all over the country. Home health care orientation and scheduling problem is taking care of patients who live in the same geographical area and need to be treated at home. Personnel provide care and treatment services by going to the addresses of the patients to provide home care services in teams. In this study, the tools of home care and treatment services were routed. In the study, a province with 155 patients for care and treatment services was dealt with. A mathematical programming model for the 4-vehicle locus problem was established in a region with 94 patients in this province. As a result of the model, it was determined which tool to visit and which patients to visit for the service. As a result of the application, the optimal route of the vehicles has been determined, so that it takes less distance than the current situation and therefore the cost is reduced
