Default Create patient schedule based on master therapist schedule

I have a friend who spends hours on scheduling and would like to streamline
things. She is a therapist who works with other therapists and their
patients. This is only for their Saturday schedule. They use a dry erase
board and magnets M-F, but the Saturday schedule needs to be different. This
is what the master sheet looks like:
OT1 OT2 PT1 PT2 Rec. ST1
7:00
7:30 Ann V. Carminia
8:00 Estela
8:30 Catherine Carminia
9:00 Renato Carminia
9:30 PW/Brk
10:00 Catherine
10:30 Estela Carminia
11:00 Chris
11:30 Chris
12:00
12:30 Ann V.
1:00 PW/Brk
1:30 Renato
2:00 PW/Brk
2:30 Carminia Carminia
3:00 PW/Brk
3:30 Floyd
4:00
There are usually 3 OT's, 3 PT's 3 ST's and a Tech and an Extra help person.
The master schedule is for each therapist (Occupational, Physical and
Speech).

What they want to be able to do is give the nurses each of the patients
schedules for the day. The names going down the time slots are the patients.
Normally each column would be filled with patient names, but for this
example I'm just using Carmenia. From this master list they want to be able
to generate a schedule for each patient. So, Carmenia's schedule would look
like this:
Carminia's Schedule:
7:30 - 8:00 ST
8:30 - 9:30 Rec
10:30 - 11:00 ST
2:30 - 3:00 PT/OT
Notice how the patient schedule only shows either OT, PT, ST or Rec. They
don't need to know if it's OT1, OT2 or OT3. If it's OT1, 2 or 3 they just
need to know it's OT. And if Carmenia's name appears in an OT and a PT cell
for the same time then it's a co-treatment, thus PT/OT from 2:30 to 3:00.

They'd like to generate this kind of schedule for each of their 20 or so
patients. I'm hoping there is a way to do this. Maybe Excel could create a
new sheet for each patient within the master sheet. Does anyone know how I
can make this happen?
