Addressing nursing staff shortages requires better nurse retention. Improving nurse scheduling offers an economical solution, with a new algorithm generating quality schedules efficiently for hospitals. This approach is showing promising results in practice.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Operations Research
  • Nursing Administration

Background:

  • Healthcare systems face critical nursing personnel shortages.
  • Effective nurse retention and recruitment strategies are essential for hospital operations.
  • Optimizing nurse scheduling is a cost-effective method to improve the work environment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an efficient algorithm for nursing personnel scheduling.
  • To provide a flexible and rapid scheduling solution for hospitals.
  • To address the need for improved nurse working conditions through better scheduling.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a novel algorithm for scheduling nursing personnel on a day-by-day basis.
  • Implemented the algorithm using C language on a microcomputer.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Compared the new approach to traditional person-by-person scheduling methods.

    • Main Results:

    • The algorithm demonstrates flexibility in handling diverse scheduling constraints and goals.
    • It generates high-quality schedules in a significantly shorter time compared to other non-cyclical methods.
    • Initial implementation at a Taiwanese hospital yielded promising outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed scheduling algorithm offers an efficient and effective solution for nursing staff management.
    • This approach can contribute to improved nurse satisfaction and retention.
    • The software implementation shows practical viability in real-world hospital settings.
