Hyper-heuristic Evolution of Dispatching Rules: A Comparison of Rule Representations.

Evolutionary computation
Dispatching rules are frequently used for real-time, online scheduling in complex manufacturing systems. Design of such rules is usually done by experts in a time consuming trial-and-error process. Recently, evolutionary algorithms have been proposed...

Patterns in GP appointment systems: a cluster analysis of 3480 English practices.

The British journal of general practice : the journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners
BACKGROUND: In response to increasing demand for appointments, UK general practices have adopted a range of appointment systems. These systems vary widely in implementation. These changes have not yet been clearly described.

Agent-Based Healthcare Chatbots for Regional System Services: A Case Study in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia Region.

Studies in health technology and informatics
This paper presents an agent-based model for interacting with regional healthcare system services in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia (FVG) region. The model is designed to streamline and automate tasks traditionally managed through human intervention. We s...

Predicting Patient No-Shows: Situated Machine Learning with Imperfect Data.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Patients who do not show up for scheduled appointments are a considerable cost and concern in healthcare. In this study, we predict patient no-shows for outpatient surgery at the endoscopy ward of a hospital in Denmark. The predictions are made by tr...

Canadian journal of surgery. Journal canadien de chirurgie
The cancellation of large numbers of surgical procedures because of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has drastically extended wait lists and negatively affected patient care and experience. As many facilities resume clinical work owin...

A machine learning framework for auto classification of imaging system exams in hospital setting for utilization optimization.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In clinical environment, Interventional X-Ray (IXR) system is used on various anatomies and for various types of the procedures. It is important to classify correctly each exam of IXR system into respective procedures and/or assign to correct anatomy...
