Abstract Porters play a crucial role in hospitals because they ensure the efficient transportation of patients, medical equipment, and vital documents. Despite its importance, there is a lack of research addressing the prediction of completion times for porter tasks. To address this gap, we utilized real-world porter delivery data from National Taiwan University Hospital, Yunlin Branch, Taiwan. We first identified key features that can influence the duration of porter tasks. We then employed three widely-used machine learning algorithms: decision tree, random forest, and gradient boosting. To leverage the strengths of each algorithm, we finally adopted an… More >
