Algorithms of distribution of medical appointments in a medical organization

The article deals with the problem of distribution of medical appointments in a medical organization, a review of algorithms and software used to solve it in medical information systems.
The task was to find the optimal route for the patient to visit the doctor's offices, taking into account the work schedule of the doctors. An algorithm for finding the optimal route consisting of two stages is described: obtaining an initial approximation and improving it. Two scenarios were considered for the search for the initial approximation: taking into account the waiting time for reception and taking into account the time for movement between cabinets.
