Description
Appointment scheduling in health care systems is a well-established domain, however, the top commercial services neglect scheduling analytics. This project explores the benefit of utilizing data analysis to equip health care offices with insights on how to improve their existing schedules. The insights are generated by comparing patients’ preferred appointment times with the current schedule coverage and calculating utilization of past appointments. While untested in the field, the project yielded promising results using generated sample data as a proof of concept for the benefits of using data analytics to remove deficiencies in a health care office’s schedule.

Description
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is endemic in Pakistan, with 5% of the population suffering from the disease. A unique aspect about HCV in Pakistan is the major role that healthcare workers play in its transmission, by reusing needles and giving therapeutic injections when they are not needed. This issue is furthered by patients’ misconceptions that invasive treatments, like injections, are more effective than oral medicines. The purpose of this project was to create a short video that addressed this inaccurate and dangerous perception, by educating Pakistanis about HCV and how to prevent infection and reinfection. In addition to disease transmission, accessibility to treatment options in Pakistan were also discussed. The video featured Pakistani physicians and some young adults. There were several limitations that delimited the project, including time, budget, the sudden death of a project participant, and the current COVID-19 epidemic as well as cultural, language, and physical barriers that come from filming a video about Pakistan as Americans. In the future, this video can serve as a framework for future efforts.
