Ok, I'm not a python programmer at all, in fact, I'm a registered nurse but with a taste for programming, but mainly js and swift.
The ward I work at is painstakingly old fashioned and the monthly planning is done by paper and pen. There's a lot of great code examples using sat solvers to manage staff, but all is missing real-world-problems that I'm currently trying to solve using the "A nurse scheduling problem" from ortools as a starting point.
I've currently have a working copy that is api friendly and serves it as an api endpoint with flask.
BUT
I'm missing the following features
- Each resource (nurse), might have a shortened work time, like only working part time, say 85%
- Each resource (nurse), might have fixed assignments specific days, these should be reflected on their total workload, but they should not be available for scheduling that specific day
- In most of our hospital, we like to have the same resources working all weekend shifts, in other words, instead of working one day on a weekend, we gather all weekend shifts to a single weekend.
Any help on pointing me into the right direction solving these problems is much appreciated.
The complete implementation is available in my git repo
And I know, I'm basically asking people to "work" for free, but this is for no financial gain, just to help us nurses out!
I've done what I can here.
