Improvement In Patient Compliance For Gynecological Care, Tracee Williams
Improvement In Patient Compliance For Gynecological Care, Tracee Williams
Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects
This quality improvement project implemented the patient-initiated follow-up (PIFU) pathway in a gynecology clinic setting. PIFU has potential to lead to decreased no-show appointments and increased patient autonomy in outpatient healthcare practices. Barriers that influence compliance with plans of care include lower socioeconomic status, racial and ethnic minorities, and unmet social needs such as food insecurity, healthcare travel and cost, and child/adult care needs. In addition to higher rates of no-show appointments, individuals facing these barriers have increased comorbidities. Prior to implementing the PIFU model, patients between the ages of 18 and 42 completed a patient satisfaction survey to better …
Examining Reported Versus Actual Attendance In College Basketball Non-Conference Games: Do Scheduling Elements Make A Difference?, Nels Popp, Stephen Shapiro, Jason Simmons, Ryan Dastrup
Examining Reported Versus Actual Attendance In College Basketball Non-Conference Games: Do Scheduling Elements Make A Difference?, Nels Popp, Stephen Shapiro, Jason Simmons, Ryan Dastrup
Journal of Applied Sport Management
This study examines factors impacting sport attendance at non-conference NCAA Division I men’s college basketball games. Non-conference college basketball games are relatively unique because athletic department personnel control many of the scheduling variables related to event popularity, including opponent, game day, and start time. As such, it is valuable for administrators to know which elements might maximize event revenue. The current study is also unique because it examines both reported attendance (tickets disseminated) and actual attendance (tickets scanned at the venue). A total of 48 schools provided ticket scan rate data for their non-conference home basketball games over three seasons …

Organizational Methods Of Reducing Burnout: The Impact Of Self-Rostering On Work-Life-Integration, Cory Authement
Organizational Methods Of Reducing Burnout: The Impact Of Self-Rostering On Work-Life-Integration, Cory Authement
MSN Capstone Projects
With burnout being at an all-time high, organizations must find new ways to prioritize staff wellbeing and promote work-life balance. According to the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) turnover in emergency departments ranges from 15-30% within the first year of nursing, and 43% within the first three years (Roncallo et al., 2020). These turnover rates cost a 300-bed facility approximately four million dollars in annual expenditure (Hesse, 2016). This level of loss and expenditure is unsustainable for the future of nursing and diverts resources away from our patients.
In recent studies, it was shown that burnout leads to difficulties for nurses …

Utilization Of Integer Programming For Scheduling Maintenance At Nuclear Power Plants, Timothy Gallacher
Doctoral Dissertations
This thesis develops a thought that naturally explores three specific motifs for solving the complexities of scheduling maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants (NPP). The first chapter of this paper will develop the initial thought around creating a schedule for a given work week, including all the various constraints inherent to this problem. Such constraints include but are not limited to personnel availability, allowable component out-of-service time, and the Plant Risk Assessment. The objective function being to minimize the total cost of worker’s compensation for that given week.
The second chapter addresses the question of whether this simple schedule can be …
Multitasking Scheduling With Shared Processing, Bin Fu, Yumei Huo, Hairong Zhao
Multitasking Scheduling With Shared Processing, Bin Fu, Yumei Huo, Hairong Zhao
Computer Science Faculty Publications and Presentations
Recently, the problem of multitasking scheduling has raised a lot of interest in the service industries. Hall et al. (Discrete Applied Mathematics, 2016) proposed a shared processing multitasking scheduling model which allows a team to continue to work on the primary tasks while processing the routinely scheduled activities as they occur. With a team being modeled as a single machine, the processing sharing of the machine is achieved by allocating a fraction of the processing capacity to routine jobs and the remaining fraction, which we denote as sharing ratio, to the primary jobs. In this paper, we generalize this model …

Adding An Admission Nurse To Help Alleviate Staff's Workload Stress, Zharmaine Zafra
Nursing Research & Professional Development Conference
Background: Getting a lot of admissions during shift change challenges and stresses nurses because they feel they cannot not give adequate care to patients.
Local Problem: Clinical nurses on a surgical unit at a large, urban, Level 1 trauma center, expressed concern about heavy workload during admissions. Heavy workload during admission affects the stress level of the staff which could negatively impact the quality of care provided to all the patients.
Method: To reduce the workload stress of the nurses, the unit implemented an admission nurse role. Prior to implementation, a unit RN surveyed the nurses about how an admissions …
Improving Opportunities For Students By Creating Pathways For Taking Art, Denise Hingst
Improving Opportunities For Students By Creating Pathways For Taking Art, Denise Hingst
Master's Theses & Capstone Projects
According to research, art education has gone through a decline, causing a lack of opportunities for students to experience the development of creativity in the general classroom. These opportunities for students in the schools in this study become even harder at the secondary level. With these small schools, it falls on the leadership of the administration to solve the scheduling dilemma for all the students. A school improvement plan is put into place to help increase the pathways for taking art by extending the day at one of the schools and changing the schedules to better help both schools work …
Dynamic Scheduling With Uncertain Job Types, Zuo-Jun Max Shen, Jingui Xie, Zhichao Zheng, Han Zhou
Dynamic Scheduling With Uncertain Job Types, Zuo-Jun Max Shen, Jingui Xie, Zhichao Zheng, Han Zhou
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
Uncertain job types can arise as a result of predictive or diagnostic inaccuracy in healthcare or repair service systems and unknown preferences in matching service systems. In this paper, we study systems with multiple types of jobs, in which type information is imperfect and will be updated dynamically. Each job has a prior probability of belonging to a certain type which may be predicted by data, models, or experts. A job can only be processed by the right machine, and a job assigned to the wrong machine must be rescheduled. More information is learned from the mismatch, and job type …
Heuristics For Lagrangian Relaxation Formulations For The Unit Commitment Problem, Stephen Opeyemi Fatokun
Heuristics For Lagrangian Relaxation Formulations For The Unit Commitment Problem, Stephen Opeyemi Fatokun
Doctoral Dissertations
The expansion of distributed energy resources (DER), demand response (DR), and virtual bidding in many power systems and energy markets are creating new challenges for unit commitment (UC) and economic dispatch (ED) techniques. Instead of a small number of traditionally large generators, the power system resource mix is moving to one with a high percentage of a large number of small units. These can increase the number of similar or identical units, leading to chattering (switching back and forth among committed units between iterations). This research investigates alternative and scalable ways of increasing the high penetration of these resources.
First, …

A Data-Driven Approach For Scheduling Bus Services Subject To Demand Constraints, Brahmanage Janaka Chathuranga Thilakarathna, Thivya Kandappu, Baihua Zheng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Passenger satisfaction is extremely important for the success of a public transportation system. Many studies have shown that passenger satisfaction strongly depends on the time they have to wait at the bus stop (waiting time) to get on a bus. To be specific, user satisfaction drops faster as the waiting time increases. Therefore, service providers want to provide a bus to the waiting passengers within a threshold to keep them satisfied. It is a two-pronged problem: (a) to satisfy more passengers the transport planner may increase the frequency of the buses, and (b) in turn, the increased frequency may impact …
Streaming Approximation Scheme For Minimizing Total Completion Time On Parallel Machines Subject To Varying Processing Capacity, Bin Fu, Yumei Huo, Hairong Zhao
Streaming Approximation Scheme For Minimizing Total Completion Time On Parallel Machines Subject To Varying Processing Capacity, Bin Fu, Yumei Huo, Hairong Zhao
Computer Science Faculty Publications and Presentations
We study the problem of minimizing total completion time on parallel machines subject to varying processing capacity. In this paper, we develop an approximation scheme for the problem under the data stream model where the input data is massive and cannot fit into memory and thus can only be scanned a few times. Our algorithm can compute an approximate value of the optimal total completion time in one pass and output the schedule with the approximate value in two passes.

Strategic Use Of Wellness Ambassadors To Increase Attendance Of Initial Mental Health Appointments, Kaitlyn Blair, Mirna Law, Bettina Bernstein
Research Day
Background
Many adults and children with mental health conditions in the US do not receive treatment, and in Philadelphia alone, there were 174 suicide deaths in 2017. The shortage of mental health professionals and long wait times are significant barriers to accessing mental health care. Executive function difficulties can make it challenging for individuals to maintain a schedule for mental health appointments. A study found that reminder phone calls result in an increased rate of mental health appointment keeping. The goal of this project is to increase attendance of first mental health appointments by patients referred to mental health services …

Research On Modeling And Scheduling Of Virtual Power Plant With Dual Demand Response, Qiang Chen, Yi Wang, Kangshun Li
Research On Modeling And Scheduling Of Virtual Power Plant With Dual Demand Response, Qiang Chen, Yi Wang, Kangshun Li
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: Virtual power plant technology provides an effective means to aggregate distributed power and user side resources to participate in power scheduling. Most of the existing research focus on the scheduling optimization of distributed energy instead of the demand response of user side. The user side resources are divided into contracted reliable response load and non-contracted random response load, and the load response is regulated through price adjustment mechanism to adapt to the change of distributed. A virtual power plant optimal scheduling model with dual demands response is constructed, in which the maximizing overall profit of the power grid is …
