An approach to the nurse scheduling problem is presented. The critical problem in nurse scheduling in a hospital is how to determine the day-to-day shift assignments of each nurse for a specified period in a way that satisfies the given requirements as much as possible, where the requirements differ greatly depending on the hospital. We present a method for constructing an agency-independent core procedure which can be tailored to the peculiar requirements of an individual hospital. As a basis, a formal analysis of the problem was performed, and a general scheduling procedure was established. Based on the method, a software system which produces a scheduling program for a given institution was developed. A declarative program that represents institution-specific information is generated through an interview with the user and incorporated into the general procedure. Some of the programming technicalities and an application of the system are also presented.
