Nurse Staffing Scheduler Optimizer

May 2021 - July 2021

Created a predictive scheduler driven by data insights that generated efficient employee schedules for each hospital based on historical data.

Personas

At the beginning of the engagement, we defined our two user types and created personas for each.

Goals:

  • Create employee schedules

  • Manage day-to-day on-site operations

  • Avoid overstaffing to maintain management satisfaction

Executive

Goals:

  • Optimize staffing schedules to reduce costs

  • Ensure hospitals are accurately staffed to provide quality patient care

  • Balance employee needs with operational demands

Wireframes

After multiple iterations and feedback rounds, we finalized mockups for the predictive scheduler’s development. Below are sample wireframes showcasing the executive and nurse manager experiences..
