Solutions to the nurse scheduling problem can be applied to constrained scheduling problems in other fields. [2] [3] While research on computer-assisted employee scheduling goes back to the 1950s, [4] the nurse scheduling problem in its current form was introduced in two parallel publications in 1976. [5] [6] It is known to have NP-hard ...
One method of research for evidence-based practice in nursing is 'qualitative research': The word implies an entity and meanings that are not experimentally examined or measured in terms of quantity, amount, frequency, or intensity. With qualitative research, researchers learn about patient experiences through discussions and interviews.

The concept of evidence-based assessment originated in the field of medicine, [3] and has since been adopted in several other disciplines, notably clinical psychology. The EBA approach is widely recognized as an empirically driven method of clinical decision-making. Cochrane reviews have reported the efficacy of EBA methods. [4]
It is the next advance beyond critical path method and critical chain project management. [1] Event chain methodology tries to mitigate the effect of motivational and cognitive biases in estimating and scheduling. [2] It improves accuracy of risk assessment and helps to generate more realistic risk adjusted project schedules. [3]
The CCC is a nursing terminology specifically developed for computerization: e.g. electronic healthcare information systems (EHR), computer-based patient records (CPR), and Clinical Information Systems (CIS), from research which collected live patient care data. The CCC System describes the six steps of the nursing process: Assessment; Diagnosis
Health technology assessment (HTA) is a multidisciplinary process that uses systematic and explicit methods to evaluate the properties and effects of a health technology.
