Abstract

This paper studies the problem of knowledge acquisition to classify scheduling and routing problems in health care services. We use Knowledge Based Expert System based in a three rule-based system (RBS) to determine the technique to solve the problem for a heath care service problem. The first identify the type of scheduling problem according with scheduling, routing and routing-scheduling problems. With the results, a second RBS identifies the performance measures. And finally, a third RBS determines the best solution techniques to solve the problem. We present an application of home health care problem to identify how solve the problem.
