Distributed Patient Scheduling in Hospitals
Patient scheduling in hospitals is a highly complex task. Hospitals have a distributed organisational structure; being divided into several autonomous wards and ancillary units. Moreover, the treatment process is dynamic (information about the patients' diseases often varies during treatments, causing changes in the treatment process). Current approaches are insufficient because they either foc...
متن کاملAgent oriented specification for patient-scheduling systems in hospitals
Patient-scheduling in hospitals is a complex task which requires new computational methods, e.g. market mechanisms and enhanced support by software agents. These demands are addressed by the MedPAge-Project (Medical Path Agents) which covers the development of a multiagent-system for which an agent oriented specification will be presented. Firstly, based on field studies in five German hospital...
متن کاملEvaluation of a Multi-Agent System for Hospital Patient Scheduling
The problem of patient scheduling in hospitals is characterized by high uncertainty and dynamics in patient treatments. Additional complexity in the planning and coordination processes is caused due to interdependencies of autonomous and administratively distinct units which are involved in the treatment of a patient. For real-world scheduling scenarios traditional scheduling methods are often ...
متن کاملNegotiation-Based Patient Scheduling in Hospitals - Reengineering Message-Based Interactions with Services
Nowadays, hospitals in Germany and other European countries are faced with substantial economic challenges stemming from increased costs and increased demands inter alia resulting from a changing age pyramid. In this respect, patient scheduling is an interesting parameter that determines on the one hand the length of the patients stay in the hospital and the e ciency of the hospital resource al...
متن کاملA multi Agent System Based on Modified Shifting Bottleneck and Search Techniques for Job Shop Scheduling Problems
This paper presents a multi agent system for the job shop scheduling problems. The proposed system consists of initial scheduling agent, search agents, and schedule management agent. In initial scheduling agent, a modified Shifting Bottleneck is proposed. That is, an effective heuristic approach and can generate a good solution in a low computational effort. In search agents, a hybrid search ap...
