Methodology of classification, forecast and prediction of healthcare providers accredited in high quality in Colombia

This research presents a methodology for classification, forecasting and prediction of healthcare providers accredited in Colombia. For this purpose, a quantitative, descriptive and predictive analysis was carried out of 27 institutions accredited in Colombia by 2016. Consequently, the machine learning techniques cluster analysis and artificial neural networks were used to define business profiles of the institutions under study. The method classifying, forecasting and predicting the membership of a healthcare provider to a business profile, previously created based on the high-quality patterns of accreditation. The input variables were assets, account receivable, inventory, property and equipment and the output variables health service sales and net profit. The cluster analysis defined two main groups. 1) accredited institutions in the process of financial consolidation; 2) accredited institutions financially sound. The process of forecasting and prediction through the creation of an artificial neural network yielded a 95% CI (088, 0.9975) precision in the classification, and 100% and 80% for sensitivity and specificity values respectively. The results evidence the capacity of the proposed methodology to recognise the characteristics and association patterns of HCP accredited in high quality

Assessing and forecasting method of financial efficiency in a free industrial economic zone

: Industrial free zones are key to the economic progress of developing countries, making the evaluation and forecast of efficiency in these organisations relevant. This research proposes a three-phase method to evaluate and forecast the financial efficiency of the business profiles of companies belonging to the free economic zone of Cartagena – Colombia. The first phase consisted of a cluster analysis to determine representative groups among the companies analysed. In the second phase, financial efficiency is measured for each of the clusters found in phase 1. Finally, in phase 3 a machine learning model is trained and validated to predict the belonging of a company to a category of financial efficiency – cluster. The results show the creation of two business clusters, with an average efficiency of 49.8% and 14.6% respectively. The random forest model has an accuracy of 95% in the validation phase

Evaluación de la calidad del servicio por medio de seis sigma en un centro de atención documental en una universidad

Esta investigación propone un método de evaluación de la calidad del servicio en un centro de atención documental en una universidad. Desde un enfoque cuantitativo y racional se estableció un método fundamentado en las teorías de calidad del servicio y el concepto de Seis sigma. Se analizaron dos periodos de estudio y se contextualizaron las métricas asociadas con los criterios de evaluación. Se determinaron tres métricas de Seis Sigma, valor de defectos por partes por millón (DPMO), el nivel Z y el rendimiento. En los resultados, todas las dimensiones evaluadas en febrero presentaron un nivel de sigma mayor con respecto al que obtuvieron en enero, así como una disminución de los defectos por partes por millón de un periodo al otro, es decir mejoró la calidad del servicio y se disminuyeron costos, salvo para la dimensión de calidad ‘Respuesta pertinente’. Adicionalmente, mediante el cálculo del rendimiento se encontró, que para la mayoría de los criterios de evaluación de la calidad se mantuvieron por encima del 90%. Esta investigación evidencia la pertinencia de articular conceptos de calidad del servicio con las métricas de Seis Sigma, permitiendo diseñar un estándar de rendimiento del servicio para el mejoramiento de la calidad.This research proposes a method to evaluate service quality in a documentary attention center in a university. From a quantitative and rational approach, a method based on the theories of quality of service and the concept of Six Sigma was established. Two study periods were analyzed and the metrics associated with the evaluation criteria were contextualized; Three metrics of Six Sigma, value of defects per parts per million (DPMO), level Z and performance were determined. In the results, all the dimensions evaluated in February presented a sigma level higher than that obtained in January, as well as a decrease in the defects per parts per million from one period to the other, that is, the quality of the service improved and costs decreased, except for the quality dimension 'Relevant response'. Additionally, by calculating the yield it was found that for most of the quality evaluation criteria they remained above 90%. This research demonstrates the relevance of articulating concepts of quality of service with Six Sigma metrics, allowing to design a standard of service performance for the improvement of quality
