I'm a nurse manager in a busy hospital unit with
lots of staff. My programming
background is pascal, VBasic, and php.
A few years ago I just happen to be in the medical library and found a
copy of David S. Touretzky "Common LISP
- A gentle introduction to symbolic computation." It changed my procedural worldview to a functional one. I dabbled in LISP very little over the
years, but managing a unit of many nursing staff brought it back into the forefront. I don't know if any of you have heard of
the Nursing-scheduling problem. It
falls into the same category is the Traveling salesman problem, they are both
in the NP-complete class. While I don't plan to
solve this millennium problem(I can dream about it), I am using LISP to help develop
scheduling software. LISP is a natural
way of representing a list of nursing staff. LISP
lets me focus on the problem not the mechanics of the implementation.
