Chemotherapy planning and multi-appointment scheduling: formulations, heuristics and bounds [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The number of new cancer cases is expected to increase by about 50% in the next 20 years, and the need for chemotherapy treatments will increase accordingly. Chemotherapy treatments are usually performed in outpatient cancer centers where patients affected by different types of tumors are treated.

An Indirect Genetic Algorithm for a Nurse Scheduling Problem [PDF]
Computers & Operations Research, 31(5), pp 761-778, 2004, 2008 This paper describes a Genetic Algorithms approach to a manpower-scheduling problem arising at a major UK hospital. Although Genetic Algorithms have been successfully used for similar problems in the past, they always had to overcome the limitations of the classical Genetic Algorithms paradigm in handling the conflict between objectives and constraints.

Before and After: Machine learning for perioperative patient care [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 For centuries nursing has been known as a job that requires complex manual operations, that cannot be automated or replaced by any machinery. All the devices and techniques have been invented only to support, but never fully replace, a person with knowledge and expert intuition.

An Estimation of Distribution Algorithm for Nurse Scheduling [PDF]
Annals of Operations Research, 155 (1), pp 289-309, 2007, 2008 Schedules can be built in a similar way to a human scheduler by using a set of rules that involve domain knowledge. This paper presents an Estimation of Distribution Algorithm (eda) for the nurse scheduling problem, which involves choosing a suitable scheduling rule from a set for the assignment of each nurse.
