متن کاملNovel Metaheuristic Approaches to Nurse Rostering Problems in Belgian Hospitals
Constructing timetables of work for personnel in healthcare institutions is a highly constrained and difficult problem to solve. In this chapter, we will present an overview of our development of the algorithms that underpin a commercial nurse rostering decision support system that is in use in over 40 hospitals in Belgium. As such, we are particularly concerned with the real world regulations ...
متن کاملNew approaches to nurse rostering benchmark instances
This paper presents the results of developing a branch and price algorithm and an ejection chain method for nurse rostering problems. The approach is general enough to be able to apply it to a wide range of benchmark nurse rostering instances. The majority of the instances are real world applications. They have been collected from a variety of sources including industrial collaborators, other r...
متن کاملCategorisation of nurse rostering problems
Personnel rostering has received ample attention in recent years. Due to its social and economic relevance and due to its intrinsic complexity, it has become a major subject for scheduling and timetabling researchers. Among the personnel rostering problems, nurse rostering turned out to be particularly complex and difficult. In this paper, we propose a notation for nurse rostering problems alon...
متن کاملNurse rostering problems - a bibliographic survey
Hospitals need to repeatedly produce duty rosters for its nursing staff.
