Home health care professionals provide medical services to patients in their homes. With rising demand, it’s crucial to manage operational costs effectively while ensuring satisfaction for patients. This study presents a bi-objective optimization model aimed at resolving routing and scheduling challenges in home health care, with a focus on both system efficiency and patient accessibility. A Mixed-Integer Linear Programming Model (MILP) is developed. To tackle computational time challenges, we propose a Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II to solve the multi-objective optimization problems. The evaluation of Pareto fronts demonstrates the method’s efficiency. We apply the method in a real-world case study to provide managerial implications.
