Hospital pharmacists make high-stakes decisions to mitigate drug shortages under uncertainty, time pressure, and patient risk. This paper presents an attention-guided computational framework for modeling how pharmacists prioritize drugs and shortage factors under uncertainty. The model compares expert-inspired attention policies with learner agents in simulated shortage scenarios.
