Maximizing the nurses' preferences in nurse scheduling problem : mathematical modeling and a meta-heuristic algorithm
Jafari, Hamed; Salmasi, Nasser - In: Journal of industrial engineering international 11 (2015), pp. 439-458
assign shifts to the nurses in order to satisfy the hospital’s demand during the planning horizon by considering different … considering several important factors such as hospital’s policies, labor laws, governmental regulations, and the status of nurses … at the end of the previous planning horizon in one of the largest hospitals in Iran i.e., Milad Hospital. Due to the …

The Application of Bayesian Optimization and Classifier Systems in Nurse Scheduling
Li, Jingpeng - 2016
Two ideas taken from Bayesian optimization and classifier systems are presented for personnel scheduling based on choosing a suitable scheduling rule from a set for each person's assignment. Unlike our previous work of using genetic algorithms whose learning is implicit, the learning in both...

Building Better Nurse Scheduling Algorithms
Aickelin, Uwe - 2016
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...

Controlling understaffing with conditional Value-at-Risk constraint for anintegrated nurse scheduling problem under patient demand uncertainty
He, Fang; Chaussaleta, Thierry; Qu, Rong - In: Operations research perspectives 6 (2019), pp. 1-19
Nursing workforce management is a challenging decision-making task in hospitals. The decisions are made across different timescales and levels from strategic long-term staffing budget to mid-term scheduling. These decisions are interconnected and impact each other, therefore are best taken by...

An integrated Lexicographic goal programming and dynamic satisfaction function model for effective nurse scheduling
Fourati, Zeineb; Smaoui, Soulef; Kamoun, Hichem - In: Decision analytics journal 9 (2023), pp. 1-11
The nurse-scheduling is a common problem in hospitals. The problem requires a timetable considering hospital … fair automated schedule. The model considers two aspects related to hospital regulation constraints. First, the dynamic …

Nonprofit vs. for-profit : allocation of beds and access to care in U.S. nursing homes
Jiang, Yangzi; Lu, Lauren Xiaoyuan; Van Mieghem, Jan A. - 2020
Motivated by bed allocation patterns of U.S. nursing homes, we formulate a queueing network model to study nonprofit and for-profit nursing homes' bed allocation decisions and the resulting access to care for the public. Nursing homes have a fixed number of beds that can be allocated among three...

A Bayesian Optimization Algorithm for Nurse Scheduling
Aickelin, Uwe - 2016
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...
