This caselet can be utilized to enhance students’ understanding and appreciation of data analytics for forecasting incoming medical examination volume by healthcare organizations. It requires a predictive analytic solution in the form of a time series model. The nature of the assignment necessitates effective teamwork on data cleaning, preparation and modeling/analysis of time series, as well as presentation of key findings. The caselet should be moderated as a small-scale consulting engagement, with the instructor assuming the role of the “client,” meeting with the engagement team for regular status updates, and attending to questions the team may have. Ideally, the caselet should run anywhere from one week to a month, depending on how meticulously the instructor will plan to implement the assignment. The caselet comes with an accompanying dataset.
