Runtime variability in computing systems causes some tasks to straggle and take much longer than expected to complete. These straggler tasks are known to significantly slowdown distributed computation. Job execution with speculative…
We consider the problem of scheduling elective surgeries in a Children's Hospital, where disruptions due to emergencies and no-shows may arise. We account for two features that occur in many pediatric settings: i) that it is not uncommon…
Patient no-shows disrupt outpatient clinic operations, reduce productivity, and may delay necessary care. Clinics often adopt overbooking or double-booking to mitigate these effects. However, poorly calibrated policies can increase…
As pressure on the healthcare system increases, patients that require elective surgery experience longer access times to pre- and post-operative appointments and surgery. Hospitals can control their waiting lists by allocating timeslots to…
We study the problem of optimizing Large Language Model (LLM) inference scheduling to minimize total latency. LLM inference is an online and multi-task service process and also heavily energy consuming by which a pre-trained LLM processes…
Real-life parallel machine scheduling problems can be characterized by: (i) limited information about the exact task duration at scheduling time, and (ii) an opportunity to reschedule the remaining tasks each time a task processing is…
In this study, we developed and tested machine learning models to predict epilepsy surgical outcome using noninvasive clinical and demographic data from patients. Methods: Seven dif-ferent categorization algorithms were used to analyze the…
Scheduling of personnel in a hospital environment is vital to improving the service provided to patients and balancing the workload assigned to clinicians. Many approaches have been tried and successfully applied to generate efficient…
Intensive care unit (ICU) is a crucial hospital department that handles life-threatening cases. Nowadays machine learning (ML) is being leveraged in healthcare ubiquitously. In recent years, management of ICU became one of the most…
Predictive models for clinical outcomes that are accurate on average in a patient population may underperform drastically for some subpopulations, potentially introducing or reinforcing inequities in care access and quality. Model training…
Limited English Proficiency (LEP) patients face higher risks of adverse health outcomes due to communication barriers, making timely medical interpreting services essential for mitigating those risks. This paper addresses the scheduling of…
Over the past decade the rate of care unit (CU) use in the United States has been increasing. With an aging population and ever-growing demand for medical care, effective management of patients' transitions among different care facilities…
An important challenge confronting healthcare is the effective management of access to primary care. Robust appointment scheduling policies/templates can help strike an effective balance between the lead-time to an appointment (a.k.a.…
Accurate prediction of Length of Stay (LOS) in hospitals is crucial for improving healthcare services, resource management, and cost efficiency. This paper presents StayLTC, a multimodal deep learning framework developed to forecast…
Queueing systems present many opportunities for applying machine-learning predictions, such as estimated service times, to improve system performance. This integration raises numerous open questions about how predictions can be effectively…
Accurately predicting hospital length-of-stay at the time a patient is admitted to hospital may help guide clinical decision making and resource allocation. In this study we aim to build a decision support system that predicts hospital…
We study the elective surgery planning problem in a hospital with operation rooms shared by elective and emergency patients. This problem can be split in two distinct phases. First, a subset of patients to be operated in the next planning…
Effective hospital capacity management is pivotal for enhancing patient care quality, operational efficiency, and healthcare system resilience, notably during demand spikes like those seen in the COVID-19 pandemic. However, devising optimal…
Diagnostic clinics are among healthcare facilities that suffer from long waiting times which can cause medical issues and lead to increases in patient no-shows. Reducing waiting times without significant capital investments is a challenging…
Loss of Signal (LOS) represents a significant cost for operators of optical networks. By studying large sets of real-world Performance Monitoring (PM) data collected from six international optical networks, we find that it is possible to…
