Abstract

B Being the nurse shift scheduling an essential component of the quality of the health service and due to the big amount of research conducted regarding the Nurse Scheduling Problem (NSP), a literature review is carried out concerning articles on NSP published from 2003 up to now. As a result of this work, we were able to highlight the tendencies and own needs of this problem, which are characterized by: (1) the need to close the gap between academy and practice through the development of objective models that represent the problem and (2) research about solution techniques capable of processing models of great complexity, without sacrificing the computational resource. This article presents a literature review on optimization models in the NSP published since 2003.
