Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Operations Research
  • Nursing Informatics

Background:

  • Nurse scheduling is a complex management task impacting ward performance.
  • Existing scheduling methods may not optimize resource allocation effectively.
  • Decision support systems can aid in evaluating and improving nursing schedules.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a decision support system for assessing nursing schedule quality.
  • To explore the use of telematics for enhancing multiple nursing schedules.
  • To improve overall nursing schedule quality through inter-scheduler communication and nurse reallocation.

Main Methods:

  • Application of knowledge acquisition techniques to build a decision support system.
  • Utilizing telematics for communication between nursing schedulers.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Implementing internal reallocation of nurses based on shortages or surpluses.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed system provides insights into the quality of arranged nursing schedules.
    • Telematics facilitates communication, enabling collaborative schedule improvement.
    • Internal reallocation of nurses leads to enhanced total schedule quality across multiple wards.

    Conclusions:

    • A decision support system can effectively evaluate nursing schedule quality.
    • Telematics and nurse reallocation are viable strategies for optimizing nurse scheduling.
    • Improved nurse scheduling positively impacts nursing ward performance.
