Constraint-based modeling and scheduling of clinical pathways
Abstract
In this article a constraint-based modeling of clinical pathways, in particular of surgical pathways, is introduced and used for an optimized scheduling of their tasks. The addressed optimization criteria are based on practical experiences in the area of Constraint Programming applications in medical work flow management. Objective functions having empirical evidence for their adequacy in the considered use cases are formally presented. It is shown how they are respected while scheduling clinical pathways.
