Abstract
|
|
|
Since the hospitals are labor intensive industries which are composed of various professional personnels, the success of hospital management depends upon management of manpower. Nursing services, as the largest user of labor resources, is part and parcel of the hospital management.
In this review we examined various types of the nurse manpower scheduling which are becoming major issues in the nurse manpower management. Furthermore; we examined optimal core level(OCL) nurse staffing through a case study which was held at Providence Hospital in U.S.A.
Few studies were conducted until now about hospital nurse manpower management in Korea. Nurse scheduling is traditionally conducted in many hospitals, by decentralized staffing which may utilize resources less efficiently and consequently make cost containment more difficult. It may be desirable to develop the rational nurse manpower model through experimental study and detailed analysis of the various types of nurse scheduling in Korea.
