MONTEIRO, Rogério A . F.  e  PASCOAL, António J.. A model and a heuristic for the primary health care coverage planning problem in portugal : application to "Cova da Beira" case. Inv. Op. [online]. 2005, vol.25, n.2, pp.195-227. ISSN 0874-5161.

This communication presents an attempt in order to help on the Planning of a Primary Health Care Delivery System in Portugal. The research was conducted in order to get the optimal location and "districting" of hierarchical facilities in a network system. A linear integer multiobjective model is presented, considering location-allocation theory and also demographic evolution, as well as coherent structure. A metaheuristic solution method is provided. The model and the metaheuristic was applied to a set of instances and "Cova da Beira" Case.

Palavras-chave : Integer Programming; demographic models; hierarchical location-allocation models; hierarchical location-delivery models; multi-heuristic methods.
