In the following years, the world population will keep growing and, simultaneously, there will be more and more chronic diseases. The current hospitalisation infrastructures cannot live up to this changing context and have to rethink to new processes. One of these processes is known as home care. Even if the idea is to propose the same quality of cares at home than at hospital, the home care services have to face different logistic problems. Some of them have already been met in the hospital logistics, some other are entirely new. Therefore, this paper aims at analysing the logistics problems in the home care systems in the Belgian home care systems. To this end, real-life interviews and a review of the scientific literature will be carried out. The main goal is to identify the gaps, if any, that could exist between the literature and the Belgian reality. Moreover, the paper describes the current solutions to problems met in the Belgian home care systems, once again based on the array of interviews that have been carried out. In the literature, we observed four main problems: (1) the network design, (2) the production and suppliers of medicines, (3) the nurses routing, (4) and finally, the management of inventory. Otherwise, this paper suggests a mathematical model for the nurses routing, suitable in the Belgian home care systems. After some interviews with members of Belgian home care systems, we are truly able to say that there is a gap between the literature and the reality. However, those problems are not always developed in the reality when they effectively occur. This paper is divided into five parts. It starts with the presentation of the concept of home care with some details of financing and foreign models. Then, we carry on with the main differences existing between the industrial logistics, hospital logistics and home care logistics, including some comments about information systems and key performance indicators. In addition, we highlight the logistic problems of home care met in the literature such as routing problem, districting problem and also, carry out a comparative analysis of the studied logistic problems. Finally, as a last chapter, we develop the used methods to achieve the goals of this paper.

This book offers convenient access to information about the benefits, drawbacks and challenges of importing high-technology medical care into the home care programs. It is both a descriptive report of research-based observations, and an interpretive analysis of major issues and policies in the delivery of technology-enhanced care. The authors bring to the forefront evidence-based current home care practices, such as ventilator therapy and artificial nutrition infusion pumps, and develop them through complete discussions of legal, ethical and administrative issues they entail.

The technology underpinning the various types of Telehomecare available has been current for more than a decade, and the time is right for an evaluation of both the technology and the effectiveness of Telehomecare as a system which contributes to the delivery of care within the home. The field is complex, encompassing multiple applications which monitor things such as task oriented behavior; lifestyle; vital signs; environmental extremes (such as carbon monoxide levels); and passive personal emergency response systems. All of these applications are based upon the collection of data within the home by a device which translates that data into information and transmits it to an external location, prompting some type of action if necessary.This book brings together the views and experience of a wide variety of contributors involved in the research and application of Telehomecare. It is divided into two sections, containing contributions from the United States, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Each section, comprises chapters written from three different perspectives: research-based, business and the implementation of care. The authors include academic researchers, policy experts, individuals with direct business experience and care providers from each of the three countries.The book reflects on where Telehomecare is today and speculates as to what the future might hold for the field. It will be of interest to all those involved in caring for people in their own homes.
