These reports also revealed that the elderly people prefer to get the informal cares at patients' home instead of formal cares at hospital (Grenouilleau et al., 2019). These reasons motivate the Home Health Care to support a full range of care services at clients' homes by using a group of caregivers (Shi et al., 2017; Fathollahi-Fard et al., 2018; Decerle et al., 2019). Similarly, the move to green health care should be supported by evidence. Simply claiming that something is green, without demonstrating empirical benefits for human health and well-being, the environment, and economics, is not enough. Although anecdotal accounts of success and case studies are useful in advancing green health care, a robust evidentiary base for the practice is needed. Many endpoints might be studied—patient health outcomes, staff turnover, the psychological comfort of visitors, the magnitude of the waste stream, the use of water, and the cost of energy, to name a few.
A matheuristic for routing real-world home service transport systems facilitating walking
The HHC routing and scheduling problems attract huge amounts of interest from modeling and optimization areas. Nevertheless, there are rarely studies focusing on the cooperation of multiple HHC centers in such problems. Firstly, a multi-objective chance-constrained programming model is developed to formulate the studied problem. The stochastic simulation approach is employed to evaluate the quality and feasibility of the obtained solutions.
✓Some managerial insights are deployed to achieve sustainability for HHC organizations. ✓The metaheuristics are compared with each other by the multi-objective assessment metrics and the model is analyzed by some sensitivity analyses.

Why choose Green Healthcare?
However, for health professionals like those represented at the workshop, green health care is likely to be most compelling because of its potential to protect and promote health, both directly and indirectly. Green Country Home Health Care provides a full line of home health services including skilled nursing, home health aides, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and medical social services.

A transport service delivers staff members of different qualification levels to clients and picks them up after completion of their services. The possibility to walk to clients, interdependencies, time windows, assignment constraints as well as mandatory working time and break regulations are considered. The introduced matheuristic consists of two stages, identifying potential walking-routes and optimising the transport system. The presented numerical studies are performed with real-world based instances from the Austrian Red Cross, a major home health care provider in Austria. The results show that implementing walking and pooling of trips in solution procedures decreases the number of required vehicles substantially.
ABOUT GREEN MEADOWS
As mentioned earlier, the main decision for an HHCSC company is to optimize the transportation cost based on the locations of pharmacies and their right allocation. By another point of view, the transportation sector of the HHCSC is to transform the caregivers to support the patients’ required medications s by cars, buses, vans and trains etc. With regards to these logistics activities, one of the main majorities of GHG emissions is CO2 emission (Moktadir et al., 2018a).
If you or a loved one is in need of home health care, then chances are good that there is a new health care challenge underway. At Green Meadows, we encourage and welcome your participation at every step of the process. If you have questions or are unsure of care, costs, coverages or eligibility with regard to home health care, then we are more than happy to help answer or clarify your questions or concerns.
By using some multi-objective assessment metrics, the algorithms are compared with each other and their performance is evaluated. As such, some sensitivity analyses are performed to reveal the efficiency of the developed model. Finally, some managerial insights are deployed to achieve the sustainability for the HHC organizations.

I want to give a big shout out to all of my staff at Green River District Home Health staff, to our visiting nurses for never giving up, not even COVID-19 was able to stop them from their calling to put patients first.
Based on this motivation, this study develops a Green Home Health Care Supply Chain for the first time in this research area. Home Health Care companies are widespread in European countries, and aim to serve patients at home to help them recover from illness and injury in a personal environment. Since transportation costs are among the biggest sources of expenditure in company activities, it is of great significance to optimize this in the Home Health Care industry. From the perspective of optimizing the cost of transportation, this paper studies the Vehicle Routing Scheduling problem as it applies to HHC companies.
According to a survey of the HHC companies, during the process of delivering medication drugs, the quantity of drugs required for each patient is non-deterministic when the company makes planned routes. This paper considers uncertain demand as a fuzzy variable, which is closer to a potential real life scenario. A Home Health Care Scheduling Problem with fuzzy demand is considered and a fuzzy chance constraint model is designed. We propose a hybrid genetic algorithm integrated with stochastic simulation methods to solve the proposed model. Firstly, the problem is reduced to the classical vehicle routing problem within a time window.
The first stage minimizes the Total Planning Distance , while the second stage maximizes the total compatibility and deals with unexpected events. Due to the NP-hardness of the studied problem, a matheuristic-based algorithm is applied to reduce the computational time. The computational results approve the proposed solution algorithm’s decent performance in obtaining near-optimal solutions quickly. In the case of therapies, the gold standard of evidence is the randomized clinical trial (Chow and Liu, 2004; Friedman et al., 1999; Katz, 2006). In the case of systems, performance-based measurement provides evidence that supports continuous improvement (Gawande, 2007; IOM, 2000; Smith, 2005). With respect to economic outcomes, careful analysis of costs and benefits can provide the evidence base for wise decisions (Brent, 2003; Donaldson et al., 2002; Drummond et al., 1997).
For example, although wide hallways, large rooms, and oversize windows that provide natural daylighting may create pleasant environments for staff and patients, they may also increase energy demand and costs. Thoughtful analysis, supported by empirical data and a culture of continuous improvement, is necessary. Green health care—the incorporation of environmentally friendly practices into healthcare delivery—appeals to health professionals and institutions for many reasons. It offers the potential to safeguard the environment, an increasingly compelling challenge. It allows healthcare institutions to demonstrate leadership in their communities. Each of these rationales was acknowledged at the workshop on green health care held by the Institute of Medicine Roundtable on Environmental Health Sciences, Research, and Medicine on January 10–11, 2006.
In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of current work in the field of HHC routing and scheduling with a focus on considered problem settings. Recent advances in HHC optimization are highlighted and future research directions discussed. This paper provides a solution procedure for a state-dependent real-world routing and scheduling problem motivated by challenges faced in the urban home service industry.
