MATLAB Hospital Patient Statistics System

Resource Overview

MATLAB-based hospital patient statistics system enables efficient calculation of patient volumes over defined time periods, with capabilities for data visualization and trend analysis

Detailed Documentation

The MATLAB Hospital Patient Statistics tool facilitates accurate calculation of patient numbers within specified timeframes, encompassing both outpatient visits and inpatient admissions. The system employs MATLAB's powerful data processing capabilities to implement statistical algorithms that track daily patient flow patterns. Key functions include data aggregation methods using timetables and grouping operations to categorize patients by department and visit type. The tool generates comprehensive visualizations through MATLAB's plotting functions (plot, bar, histogram) and produces detailed reports using table formatting and export features. Hospital administrators can leverage these analytics to gain operational insights, identify peak hours and low-traffic periods through time-series analysis, and optimize resource allocation. Implementation typically involves datetime array processing for period segmentation and statistical functions like movmean for trend analysis, enabling improved hospital efficiency and service quality through data-driven decision making.
