dc.description.abstractHome healthcare services are public or private service that aims to provide health services at home to socially disadvantaged, sick, needy, disabled, and elderly individuals. This study aims to increase the quality of home healthcare practice by analyzing the factors affecting it. In Megacity Istanbul, data from 1707 patients were used by considering 14 different input variables affecting home healthcare practice. The demographic, geographic, and living conditions of patients and healthcare professionals who take an active role in home healthcare practice constituted the central theme of the input parameters of this study. The regression method was used to look at the factors that affect the length of time a patient needs home healthcare, which is the study's output variable. This article provides short planning times and flexible solutions for home healthcare practice by showing how to avoid planning patient healthcare applications by hand using methods that were developed for home health services. In addition, in this research, the AB, RF, GB, and NN algorithms, which are among the machine learning algorithms, were developed using patient and personnel data with known input parameters to make home healthcare application planning correct. These algorithms' accuracy and error margins were calculated, and the algorithms' results were compared. For the prediction data, the AB model showed the best performance, and the R2 value of this algorithm was computed as 0.903. The margins of error for this algorithm were found to be 0.136, 0.018, and 0.043 for the RMSE, MSE, and MAE, respectively. This article provides short planning times and flexible solutions in home healthcare practice by avoiding manual patient healthcare application planning with the methods developed in the context of home health services.en_US
