N2  - This paper presents a solution to optimize the scheduling of carer shifts in home care services in a regional setting in Switzerland. To achieve this, all necessary data is sent to a shift planning algorithm using constraint satisfaction, which is embedded within a module accessed via an API. This algorithm generates optimized daily schedules for each carer based on the received data, considering factors such as carer roles, absences, travel routes, and patient preferences. The generated schedules are then returned to and integrated within the home care software, where they can still be manually adjusted by the planner if needed. First tests show the feasibility of the approach.
