Prediction of Nurses Allotment to Patient in Hospital through Game Theory

Allotment of nurses to patients is a critical task in terms of better treatment. Nurses should be appointed according to a patient’s health condition, type of disease & financial condition. Again understaffing of nurses may hamper patient health & condition. Similarly, overstaffing of nurses is a waste of man powers. Adequate staffing of nurses is crucial. We propose a technique using game theory to meet over staffing and under staffing of nurses. Game theory plays a vital role to meet the exact requirement. Nash equilibrium can be used for taking all possible decisions, like appointment of nurses in different categories for smooth treatment of patients. However, final & most suitable decision can be taken using perfect Nash equilibrium. This technique is a perfect technique to implement in case of vital & critical decision points.
