Staff scheduling support systems aimed at maintaining the quality of nursing and care services

一项旨在保持护理和护理服务质量的工作人员调度支持系统的研究产生了三个主要结果。(1)我们在Microsoft Excel中开发了一个原型“家务助理人员调度支持系统”和基于原型的Web系统。(2)我们可以得到精确的解决方案，以前未解决的护士调度问题的情况下，通过处理这些情况下的混合整数问题或可满足性问题。(3)我们建议，通过表示作为一个网络的可行的解决方案所获得的信息是有效的，以确定员工调度问题。

A study of staff scheduling support systems designed to maintain the quality of nursing and care services yielded three main results. (1) We developed, in Microsoft Excel, a prototype "home help staff scheduling support system" and a web-based system based on the prototype. (2) We could obtain exact solutions for instances of nurse scheduling problems which were previously unsolved, by dealing with these instances as mixed integer problems or satisfiability problems. (3) We suggest that the information obtained by representing feasible solutions as a network is efficient for schedulers to ascertain staff scheduling problems.
