I am a home health nurse and just spend most of the day trying to teach Bard how to create a weekly schedule. This can be time consuming as I need to make a tentative schedule of about 25 visits and then pick up the phone and see if my patients can actually see me at my desired time.
I see patients 1 - 3 times per week. Some patients must be seen M, W, F for wound care, some are 2x/week for teaching and I try to space them out. Some get admitted on friday and are high priority for a monday visit as they may be unstable, while other stable patients may only need 1 visit and are very low priority.
After MD orders and medical considerations I need to consider commute time. I see patients all over my county and creating a schedule that minimizes commute time can make a difference of $100s per week.
The best I could do with bard was to tell it to imagine it had a card for each visit I need to make this week and then have it place that card in a day of the week. This produced a schedule, but it would have been too time consuming to map it out to see how geographically efficient the result actually was. At a glance, it did not seem like a very good schedule. I had a long conversation beforehand about how to prioritize the visits. I produced a description of "AI-powered Home Health Nurse Scheduling Tool" but I think that all went out the window when I actually asked it t make a schedule. Just getting it to include every visit for all my patients took so many prompts that I don't think it remembered much about priority by the time it made a list!
Is there an AI that is (preferably free and) particularly good at this sort of task?
Ironically, I get pretty good results creating drafts of complex nursing documentation describing patient history, diagnosis, and plan of care, but creating a simple weekly schedule seems near impossible
