Preparing for Influenza Season
Staff Deployment Planning for Influenza Season
The United States experiences a seasonal influenza outbreak, leading to a surge in flu cases. Some individuals, especially those at high risk, develop severe complications requiring hospitalization. To meet the increased demand for patient care, hospitals and clinics need additional medical staff. A medical staffing agency provides this temporary workforce. This project aims to optimize staff deployment by determining the optimal timing and number of staff to send to each location during the flu season.
