The INFORMS Analytics+ Conference showcased how companies are turning advanced analytics and AI into measurable operational results
In most emergency departments, beds are a hot commodity. But some patients don’t actually need a bed for their treatment – and accurately identifying those people is a low-lift but effective way to increase efficiency without sacrificing care quality, finds a study recently published in the journal Management Science.
The researchers developed a simple decision tree, informed by mathematical and machine learning models, to help staff decide whether a patient truly needs a bed or can be routed to a “vertical processing pathway” – that is, an area where they can be treated sitting up. Many hospitals already have such an area but don’t necessarily have a systematic way to decide which patients are treated there.
Diversity alone won’t get the votes for funding public education. It takes communities that are more integrated and connected, where residents have a sense of shared stake.

A blockbuster tie-up between Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern is a bet that supply-chain breakdowns like the Suez Canal blockage will keep happening.
Friday’s maritime traffic on the Suez Canal has now grown to over 200 backlogged ships — 30 of which are oil tankers — ever since the major shipping passage was first blocked by a container vessel that ran aground earlier this week.
SUEZ, Egypt -- A giant backhoe and a squadron of tugboats look minuscule against the cargo ship's bulk, demonstrating the enormity of the challenge at hand: freeing the wedged, skyscraper-sized container ship that has blocked the entire width of the Suez Canal and created a major traffic jam on one of the world's most crucial trade routes.
Maryland [US], March 28 (ANI): A new research conducted to minimise the risk of secondary infections aboard has used two models to help solve the airplane seating assignment problem because COVID-19 has been shown to spread on airplanes by infected passengers.
Gov. Brian Kemp already had reopened bars and restaurants, gyms and nightclubs, barber shops and tattoo parlors, amusement parks and summer camps. Next up: live entertainment venues.
