Improving patient-care services at an oncology clinic using a flexible and adaptive scheduling procedure

作者：

Highlights：

• We study a chemotherapy scheduling problem having multiple requests of patients.

• We present a flexible adaptive system to construct schedules over a rolling horizon.

• The system uses two optimization models to dynamically schedule arriving requests.

• Managerial insights are given to help hospital managers deal with unexpected events.
