A busy hospital has a list of nurses waiting to be assigned to a doctor. The list is created sequentially (e.g., nurses are added in a FIFO order) from the time they are available. Once there is a requirement, the front desk calls each nurse to offer the assignment in the order they were added to the list. The scheduler has noticed that she wastes a lot of time trying to find a nurse from the list since they're often not available, don't pick up the phone, etc. She would like to generate a better list that will increase her chances of finding a nurse in the first few calls.
Given nurse demographics and behavioral data (see sample-data/clinician.json), create an algorithm that will process a set of historical nurse data and compute a score for each nurse (1 as the lowest, 10 as the highest) that represents the chance of a nurse accepting the assignment offer. Consider that nurses who have little behavior data should be randomly added to the top list to give them a chance to be selected. Additionally, be aware that the data may contain irregularities such as non-numeric age values (e.g., "five" instead of 5), null values, and other anomalies. Your solution should robustly handle these edge cases. Expose an API that takes a facility's location as input and returns an ordered list of 10 nurses who will most likely accept the assignment offer.
Demographic
- year of experience (weighted 10%)
- distance to practice (weighted 10%)
Behavior
- number of accepted offers (weighted 30%)
- number of cancelled offers (weighted 30%)
- reply time (how long it took for nurses to reply) (weighted 20%)
- ID
- Year of Experience (in years)
- location
- Lat
- long
- acceptedOffers (integer)
- canceledOffers (integer)
- averageReplyTime (integer, in seconds)
Anything else outside of the ones listed above is not allowed.
- Any testing libraries
- Libraries to compare the distances between coordinates
- Any JSON / file parising libraries
The code should be written in TypeScript as a Node.js library that anyone can import and use. It should contain documentation and unit tests that demonstrate your understanding of the problem and your ability to handle data irregularities effectively. Adequate testing is crucial to ensure the robustness of your solution against data anomalies.
