| Project Overview | Improve timeliness of decision making for the emergency department’s bed placement through rule-based automation tool. The team’s main goal is to automate part of the Bed Traffic Controller’s current duties. To achieve this task, they are working on a software that interacts with Hospital’s CERNER software to get new patient information and current bed assignments to recommend bed assignments for the new patient. Once completed, Bed Traffic Controller will have the options to accept or decline bed assignment recommendations. The team successfully gathered the requirements, created the functional decomposition and data flow diagrams, designed the main algorithms and UI screens. |

| Project Overview | The transportation department at Lakeland Regional Health (LRH) is responsible for moving patients throughout the hospital. Certain departments or locations have a large number of transports every day. A transport request comes through as an electronic order which is then prioritized and assigned to the appropriate staff. They would like to use simulation techniques to validate current staffing levels, test location specific transport personnel and priority settings to ensure a more efficient movement of patients between locations. They think an analysis of the prioritization levels, staffing vs demand and centralized vs dElectrical and Computer Engineeringntralized models would be helpful for designing a future state process. |

| Project Overview | The objective of this project is to create a module, called NetHoncho, which can interact with a packet routing network simulator. This module should provide user friendly interface (both api and a GuI) to set up the network and data, and to specify how the results of the simulation will be presented. The results generated by this module should then be compared with the theoretical estimates provided by L3T. This is a pure SW simulation based project. |
