Abstract

Home Health Care (HHC) is a form of nursing that provides medical and non-medical health services to patients in their places of residence. It aims to help individuals who require treatment, monitoring, or recovery to receive professional medical services in the comfort of their homes. The purpose of this paper is to propose a literature survey on HHC dealing with routing and scheduling and some discussions on current trends with a focus on the medical resource aspects.
