This project used a structured hospital emergency room dataset with 9,216 patient records. The dataset contained demographic details, admission status, referral department, wait times, and satisfaction scores.
π Dataset Fields
- π Patient ID β Unique identifier for each patient.
- π
Patient Admission Date β Date & time of patient admission.
- π Patient Initial & Last Name β Basic patient identity information (de-identified).
- β§ Patient Gender β Male/Female distribution.
- π Patient Age β Patientβs age in years.
- π Patient Race β Ethnic/racial classification.
- π₯ Department Referral β Department patient was referred to (Orthopedics, Cardiology, Neurology, etc.).
- ποΈ Patient Admission Flag β Whether the patient was admitted (True/False).
- β Patient Satisfaction Score β Rating of patient satisfaction (scale 1β10).
- β±οΈ Patient Wait Time β Waiting duration before being seen by a doctor (in minutes).
ποΈ Data Preparation & Transformation
- Data Cleaning:
- Fixed inconsistent date formats.
- Handled missing values in Satisfaction Score.
- Removed duplicates for Patient IDs.
- Data Structuring:
- Converted Admission Flag to binary (Admitted / Not Admitted).
- Grouped patients by Age Group, Gender, Referral Department, and Admission Status.
- Data Modeling:
- Built relationships between fields to analyze patterns across demographics, wait times, and satisfaction.
- Created calculated columns & measures for KPIs like Avg Wait Time, % Seen Within 30 Min, Admission % etc.

With this structured dataset, I was able to build interactive dashboards in Power BI to monitor patient flow, hospital performance, and service efficiency.
