Using AI to find optimal placement schedules for nursing students
Students training to become nurses undertake placements at teaching hospitals as part of their studies. These placements endeavour to help students experience and learn practical skills they can apply in their roles once they are qualified. In general, these placement schedules are produced by hand and what may seem to be a relatively simple task, quickly becomes complex once you consider the different constraints involved.
The challenge
Can a tool or approach be developed which automatically generates student nurse placement schedules that adhere to the requirements and constraints of the different stakeholders, while additionally providing a more diverse range of placements for the students?
