HSMA Course Project: Waiting List Data Science Proofs of Concept
Sean and Amaia have spent the last 15 months on the Health Service Modelling Associates (HSMA) Programme, which is soon coming to an end. This program consists of 6 months of weekly lectures on a range of data science, operational research, coding, and web development, followed by a 9 month project, run by the University of Exeter PenChord team and is available for free for anyone working in public healthcare or policing.
During the course, we opted for the project to be a set of proof of concepts using the Waiting List Minimum Dats set (WLMDS) to identify data science techniques that may provide novel insights into this dataset. Read more about the project itself here. This blog post is a summary of our project, as well a reflection on the past 15 months of the course.
