flosp

Project to explore automation of patient FLow in hOSPitals work in a scalable manner.

Aims

provide means to import and clean ED and inpatient hospital data quickly
provide standard plotting/analysis outputs

Objectives

create module to import/clean/impose standard format/save ED data
create similar for inpatient data
create module for standard ED plotting/analysis
create module for standard IP plotting/analysis

install

to install dependencies....

conda env create activate hospital-flow

installing python

If are new to python then the easiest way to get up and running is to download the anaconda distribution of python: https://www.anaconda.com/download/

creating a python environment

Creating an environment should be the easiest way to ensure that you can run our code sucessfully. To do this:

navigate to your directory which should contain the downloaded files (.csv, .yml, .ipynb)
open command prompt (terminal in mac)
type: 'conda env create'
type: 'activate hospital-flow' ('source activate hospital-flow' in mac)

running

running the script

see examples of how to use in: example_flosp_workflow.ipynb

dev

to-do

Gen: multiple instances of set_save_path method...look to make generic function.
Gen: create test harness
plotting.plotED: is a mess. Needs refactoring. Many repeated functions that could be made generic.
ioED: fix data type catagory on age_group column
