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.

CATONSVILLE, MD, January 6, 2020 – The popularity of bike-share systems has grown in popularity thanks to the younger, more environmentally conscious generation. While they have garnered considerable attention in cities from Paris to Washington, D.C., their promise of urban transformation is far from being fully realized.
CATONSVILLE, MD, January 2, 2020 – Streaming data is gaining in popularity thanks in part to advances in sensing technologies and imaging systems. Advanced analytics has evolved from leveraging structured and unstructured data to deriving insight and action from this new, growing data source. The latest volume of INFORMS Editor’s Cut compiles data-driven work on how streaming analytics is making its mark.
It’s hard to believe 2019 wasn’t a major election year. It seems like the news and social media relentlessly pushed political agendas, purposeful misrepresentations, accusatory quotes from anonymous or questionable sources, and even outright lies. I’m already sick of political messaging and attacks, and the election is a full 11 months away.
Researchers detail new data in Science - Management Science. According to news reporting originating from Jouy-en-Josas, France, by NewsRx editors, the research stated, “Empirically, bank equity value is decreasing in the interest rate. Yet (i) many banks do not hedge interest rate risk, and (ii) more than 50% of hedging banks use derivatives to increase exposure.”
