Enhancing Health Management in Care Homes through Data Analytics
The project aims to explore how the implementation of the NHS/UK "National Early Warning Score" (NEWS2) in residential and nursing care homes can be optimized through data analytics and visualization. The primary goal is to improve the proactive management of residents' health, particularly those with long-term conditions, by analyzing wider determinants of health. This project seeks to identify patterns and trends that could lead to a reduction in unnecessary hospital admissions. By leveraging classroom knowledge in data analytics, students will assess the effectiveness of NEWS2 and propose enhancements. The project involves analyzing existing health data, identifying key health indicators, and visualizing data to support decision-making in care homes. - Analyze the current use of NEWS2 in care homes. - Identify and evaluate wider determinants of health affecting residents. - Develop data visualizations to highlight key health trends and patterns. - Propose actionable insights to improve health management and reduce hospital admissions.
Healthcare Data Visualization Dashboard
Herrington Technology is seeking to enhance its healthcare data analytics capabilities by developing a user-friendly data visualization dashboard. The goal of this project is to create a tool that allows healthcare professionals to easily interpret and analyze crucial environmental factors and alerts necessary for improving healthcare decision-making processes and patient outcomes. The dashboard should integrate various environmental data sources, alerts and conditions content to provide comprehensive insights. Learners will apply their knowledge of data analytics, user interface design, and healthcare considerations to develop this dashboard. The project will focus on creating intuitive visualizations, ensuring data accuracy, and maintaining actionable insights. The team will work collaboratively to design, prototype, and test the dashboard, ensuring it meets the needs of healthcare professionals.
