    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Management
    • Operations Research
    • Nursing Administration

    Context:

    • Hospitals face challenges in equitable nurse workload distribution.
    • Comprehensive evaluation revealed significant disparities in nursing staff allocation across departments.
    • Existing allocation methods did not adequately account for varying departmental demands.

    Purpose:

    • To determine the optimal allocation of nursing staff.
    • To minimize workload disparities between hospital departments.
    • To improve overall hospital operational efficiency through balanced staffing.

    Summary:

    • Analysis of nurse workload across all hospital departments indicated inappropriate staffing levels.
    • A linear programming model was developed to achieve optimal nursing staff allocation.
    • The model aimed to equalize departmental workloads, thereby mitigating the negative impacts of uneven distribution.

    Impact:

    • Implementation of the optimized allocation can lead to more equitable working conditions for nurses.
    • Balanced workloads may improve nurse job satisfaction and reduce burnout.
    • Enhanced operational efficiency and potentially better patient care outcomes through optimized resource allocation.
