Building Better Nurse Scheduling Algorithms
The aim of this research is twofold: Firstly, to model and solve a complex nurse scheduling problem with an integer programming formulation and evolutionary algorithms. Secondly, to detail a novel statistical method of comparing and hence building better scheduling algorithms by identifying successful algorithm modifications. The comparison method captures the results of algorithms in a single ...
متن کاملEvolutionary Algorithms for Nurse Scheduling Problem
Nurse scheduling problem (NSPs) represents a diicult class of Multi-objective optimization problems consisting of a number of interfering objectives between the hospitals and individual nurses. The objective of this research is to investigate diiculties that occur during solution of NSP using Evolutionary Algorithms, in particular Genetic Algorithms (GA). As the solution method a population-les...
متن کاملBOA for Nurse Scheduling
Our research has shown that schedules can be built mimicking a human scheduler by using a set of rules that involve domain knowledge. This chapter presents a Bayesian Optimization Algorithm (BOA) for the nurse scheduling problem that chooses such suitable scheduling rules from a set for each nurse’s assignment. Based on the idea of using probabilistic models, the BOA builds a Bayesian network f...
متن کاملWhy a well-paid nurse is a better nurse.
In an article subtitled "Why is a Badly Paid Nurse a Good Nurse?" economist Anthony Heyes argues that nursing wages should be kept low. Counter arguments are provided based on what the authors consider more adequate economic analysis.
متن کاملA Nurse Scheduling Model under Real Life Constraints
Background and Objectives: In this paper, a real life nurse scheduling model is described based on the conditions in Iranian hospitals such as monthly shift rotation, consecutive morning and evening shifts and consecutive evening and night shift. Methods: The developed model considers both hospital constraints and nurses’ preferences. Hospital constraints include assigning adequate qualifie...
