Ralph Wilson (almost 3 years ago)

In either 1978 or 1979, I designed and wrote an application for the University of Oklahoma Hospital and Clinics that performed thissame basic function. The application that I wrote identified the level of staffing needed at nursing stations and also could provide suggestions for which nursing station (end, therefore, which available rooms) new patients should be assigned to. Of course, based upon the date (i.e. about 30 years ago), it can easily be guessed that the application was not at all real time; however, by running it at shift change for nursing stations and at time of patient admissions for new admissions, it would have served the purpose.

The problem was that doctors and nurses were not willing to accept the recommendations.
