Overall Research Project Description In the world of healthcare, using data to improve patient care and make healthcare systems more efficient is a big opportunity. We need to include these data-driven ideas in the complex world of healthcare. The usual ways of deciding where to put patients and how to use resources need new and creative solutions that consider different patient needs, local conditions, and changing diseases. Our research plan is about using data and math to change how we assign patients in Florida's healthcare places. This is important because in healthcare, we need to make sure patients get the right care. We want to build a system that matches patients with the right places for their needs. In this project, we will create a way to match patients with places to get care. We'll think about things like patient health, how many people a place can take, where places are, and how much disease is spreading. We will use math and smart ways of looking at data to help us make these decisions. Our goal is to make a tool that changes and adapts as healthcare changes. We'll use tools like R, Python, Excel, Minitab, and JMP to look at data and understand what it tells us. These tools will help us figure out what patients need and where we should put resources. We'll also use Python or GAMS to solve math problems that come up. In the end, our project wants to give healthcare professionals useful information so they can make good decisions. We want to make healthcare better by using data to help patients get the care they need. Our project will help improve how we decide where to put patients and how to use resources in healthcare.
