Some Technics for Meeting Personnel Shortages

Is relief for personnel shortages in sight?

In the Case Report "Early Controlled Motion Following Flexor Tendon Graft" (July 1988), the authors gave an excellent overview of the physio­ logical rationale for early controlled motion. I must express my concern, however, at their conclusion as stated: "The good functional results achieved suggest that a rehabilitation regimen consisting of the palmar pulley sys­ tem, a PIP joint block, and ...

Some requirements in equipment and technics for vectorcardiography.

To reduce the effects of extraneous potentials caused by muscle tremor, sweating, and interference from power circuits, it is desirable to restrict the frequency range of the cathode ray vectorcardiograph. Mathematical analysis of idealized waves and experiments with a photoelectric electrocardiographic generator indicate that a frequency range between the half-power frequency of 0.8 to 80 cycl...

A multi-agent system handling personnel shortages in hospitals

Within the field of nurse rostering[2], solving personnel shortages is a central problem. Trivedi and Warner[11] and Gascon et al. [5] introduce a pool of float nurses. They solve shortages by using nurses from this pool. Siferd and Benton[10] tackle shortages by calling nurses from other wards and by allowing nurses to work overtime. Meisels and Kaplanksi[6] pioneered a negotiation based appro...
