Workforce Analytics in Nova Scotia Hospitals

NS Health oversees the operations of a large number of hospitals and clinics distributed across the province. Given the data volumes that the organization processes on a regular basis, this project proposes workforce analytics for individual hospitals as well the entire collection of hospitals within the NS Health network. Payroll makes up a significant portion of the several billion-dollar budgets of NS Health hospitals. The primary objective of this project is to study the relationship between payroll and the resulting activities within a hospital as well as across all the hospitals in the province to optimize productivity. The project will use data summarization, visualization, profiling using unsupervised machine learning, and predictive analytics using supervised machine learning and statistics for anticipating demands for different personnel.
