Patient scheduling in hemodialysis unit using simple heuristic

This paper study a patient scheduling and nurse assignment problem in the hemodialysis unit. A long waiting time can cause dissatisfaction among patients, and it might affect their health condition. We aim to minimize the waiting time before and after the dialysis treatment by considering patients’...
