No-Show Appointment Project

Introduction

There are many reasons that patients fail to make their appointments and there are demographic similarities across patients who no-show more consistently than others. Practice managers work hard to reduce no-shows using a variety of strategies, but often those strategies involve manual processes or difficult-to-enforce policies, resulting in a low impact.

Aim of the project

The aim of this project is to carry out an exploratory data analysis of the no-show appointment data

Project Questions

• What are the effects of time interval between appointment day and schedule day on no-show appointment rate?

Objectives of the project

• Evaluate the effects of time interval between appointment day and schedule day on no-show appointment rate;

This is an R Markdown document. Markdown is a simple formatting syntax for authoring HTML, PDF, and MS Word documents. For more details on using R Markdown see http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com.

When you click the Knit button a document will be generated that includes both content as well as the output of any embedded R code chunks within the document. You can embed an R code chunk like this:

summary(cars)

##      speed           dist       
##  Min.   : 4.0   Min.   :  2.00  
##  1st Qu.:12.0   1st Qu.: 26.00  
##  Median :15.0   Median : 36.00  
##  Mean   :15.4   Mean   : 42.98  
##  3rd Qu.:19.0   3rd Qu.: 56.00  
##  Max.   :25.0   Max.   :120.00

Including Plots

You can also embed plots, for example:

Note that the echo = FALSE parameter was added to the code chunk to prevent printing of the R code that generated the plot.
