A repository to accompany the paper investigating COPD patients' interactions with the Cwm Taf region's hospital system.

Data-driven research in healthcare settings is paramount. This work investigates a population of COPD patients in the South Wales area and encompasses the topics of segmentation analysis, queuing modelling, and the recovery of queuing parameters from incomplete data. This is done despite common limitations in operational research with regard to the availability of fine-grained data as this work only uses administrative hospital spell data from those patients.
