The Analyses of Individual Patient Pathways : Investigating Regional Variation in COPD readmissions
Adeyemi, Shola; Demir, Eren; Chaussalet, Thierry J (Vilnius Gediminas Technical University Publishing House “Technika”, 2009-07-13)Regional variation for those treated for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been studied amongst many public health issues. However, for those experiencing frequent readmissions were not considered. The ... -
Analysis of Variability in Neonatal Care Units : A Retrospective Analysis
Adeyemi, Shola; Demir, Eren; Chahed, Salma; Chaussalet, Thierry J (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)The number of babies needing neonatal care is increasing due mainly to technological and therapeutic advances. These advances have implied a decreasing neonatal mortality rate for low birth weight infants and also a falling ... -
An approach to exploring the effect of weather variations on chronic disease incidence rate and potential changes in future health systems
Demir, Eren (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)The ecology and the environment of the world are changing due to the changing patterns of the meteorological factors.

(2023-12-28)In recent years, there has been a surge in the global digitization of corporate processes and concepts such as digital technology development which is growing at such a quick pace that the construction industry is struggling ... -
Assessing the impact of COVID-19 measures on COPD management and patients: A simulation-based decision support tool for COPD services in the UK
Yakutcan, Usame; Hurst, John R.; Lebcir, Reda M.; Demir, Eren (2022-10-07)Objectives To develop a computer-based decision support tool (DST) for key decision makers to safely explore the impact on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) care of service changes driven by restrictions to ... -
Capturing the readmission process : the focus on the time window
Demir, Eren; Chaussalet, Thierry J (2011)In the majority of studies on patient re-admissions, a re-admission is deemed to have occurred if a patient is admitted within a time window of the previous discharge date. However, these time windows have rarely been ... -
A cautionary note on the association between meteorological parameters and COVID-19 pandemic
Adeyemi, Shola; Yakutcan, Usame; Adeoti, Adekunle O.; Demir, Eren (2020-08-11)Will the increasing temperature and humidity stop the spread of coronavirus, like seasonal patterns seen in viruses like influenza? In the authors’ opinion, weather has little or no part to play in bringing an end to the ... -
A comprehensive and integrated hospital decision support system for efficient and effective healthcare services delivery using discrete event simulation
Ordu, Muhammed; Demir, Eren; Tofallis, Chris; Gunal, Murat (2023-12-31)The difficulty that hospital management has been experiencing over the past decade in balancing demand and capacity needs is unprecedented in the United Kingdom. Due to a shortage of capacity, hospitals cannot treat all ... -
A comprehensive modelling framework to forecast the demand for all hospital services
Ordu, Muhammed; Demir, Eren; Tofallis, Christopher (2019-03-22)Background: Because of increasing demand, hospitals in England are currently under intense pressure resulting in shortages of beds, nurses, clinicians, and equipment. To be able to effectively cope with this demand, the ... -
Data preparation for clinical data mining to identify patients at risk of readmission
Demir, Eren (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011)Steadily rising numbers of emergency (unplanned) inpatient admissions have been the major source of pressure on the NHS over the past twenty years. There is currently still a strong need for a consistent predictive tool ... -
A decision support system for demand and capacity modelling of an accident and emergency department
Ordu, Muhammed; Demir, Eren; Tofallis, Christopher (2019-01-06)Accident and emergency (A&E) departments in England have been struggling against severe capacity constraints. In addition, A&E demands have been increasing year on year. In this study, our aim was to develop a decision ... -
A Decision Support Tool for Health Service Re-design
Demir, Eren; Chahed, Salma; Chaussalet, Thierry; Toffa, Sam; Fouladinajed, Farid (2012)Many of the outpatient services are currently only available in hospitals, however there are plans to provide some of these services alongside with General Practitioners. Consequently, General Practitioners could soon be ... -
A decision support tool for predicting patients at risk of readmission : a comparison of classification trees, logistic regression, generalized additive models and multivariate adaptive regression splines
Demir, Eren (University of Hertfordshire, 2012)The number of emergency (or unplanned) readmissions in the United Kingdom National Health Service (NHS) has been rising for many years. This trend, which is possibly related to poor patient care, places financial pressures ... -
