    Mixed Integer Programming For Patient Admission Scheduling in Hospital Network

    This work presents a mixed-integer programming model to optimize patient admission scheduling in hospital networks, with the aim of improving bed assignment and coordination of care., 2024

    Résumé

    The Patient Admission Scheduling (PAS) process involves efficiently managing the admission of patients to specific beds within relevant departments while addressing all their medical needs over a defined time horizon. This study delves into PAS within hospital network, emphasizing the collaborative nature of their interactions. Collaborative interactions are a common challenge in hospitals, where they need to collaborate and share resources to allocate patients to a limited number of beds within a specified timeframe, ensuring all necessary medical conditions are met. To address this challenge, a mixed-integer mathematical programming model for the PAS problem within hospital network is proposed with the aim of minimizing a weighted sum of unsatisfied constraints.

    On the Different Concepts and Taxonomies of eXplainable Artificial Intelligence

    In : International Conference on Intelligent Systems and Pattern Recognition. Cham : Springer Nature, 2023, 75-85., 2023

    Résumé

    Presently, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has seen a significant shift in focus towards the design and development of interpretable or explainable intelligent systems. This shift was boosted by the fact that AI and especially the Machine Learning (ML) field models are, currently, more complex to understand due to the large amount of the treated data. However, the interchangeable misuse of XAI concepts mainly “interpretability” and “explainability” was a hindrance to the establishment of common grounds for them. Hence, given the importance of this domain, we present an overview on XAI, in this paper, in which we focus on clarifying its misused concepts. We also present the interpretability levels, some taxonomies of the literature on XAI techniques as well as some recent XAI applications.

    Case-based reasoning for home health care planning considering unexpected events

    IFAC-PapersOnLine, 55(10), 1171-1176, 2022

    Résumé

    In recent years, Home Health Care (HHC) has gained popularity in different countries around the world (e.g. France, US, Germany, etc.). The HHC consists in providing medical services to patients at home. During the HHC service, caregivers’ planning may be disrupted by some unexpected events (e.g. urgent request, caregiver absence, traffic congestion, etc.), which makes HHC activities infeasible. This paper addresses the daily HHC routing and scheduling problem by considering unpredicted events. To solve this problem, we propose a Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) methodology. Our purpose is to create the HHC case base which contains the knowledge about the perturbation.
