  • implementation of a digital chatbot to screen health system employees during the covid 19 pandemic
    Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association, 2020
    Co-Authors: Timothy J Judson, Anobel Y Odisho, Jerry J Young, Olivia Bigazzi, David Steuer, Ralph Gonzales, Aaron B Neinstein
    Abstract:

    The screening of healthcare workers for COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) symptoms and exposures prior to every clinical shift is important for preventing nosocomial spread of infection but creates a major logistical challenge. To make the screening process simple and efficient, University of California, San Francisco Health designed and implemented a digital chatbot-based workflow. Within 1 week of forming a team, we conducted a product Development Sprint and deployed the digital screening process. In the first 2 months of use, over 270 000 digital screens have been conducted. This process has reduced wait times for employees entering our hospitals during shift changes, allowed for physical distancing at hospital entrances, prevented higher-risk individuals from coming to work, and provided our healthcare leaders with robust, real-time data for make staffing decisions.

  • Generación automática de la planificación de la entrega en desarrollo de software agil, asignación de historias de usuario a los desarrolladores usando algoritmos genéticos
    'Universidad de Santander - UDES', 2020
    Co-Authors: Vera-rivera, Fredy Humberto, Barbosa-mora, Jose Luis, Gaona-cuevas, Carlos Mauricio
    Abstract:

    In the Development of software applications, the assignment of Development tasks is a fundamental activity, on it depends the success of the Development of the project, assigning the Development tasks to the right person, at the right time and optimally, can bring a reduction in Development time and project costs. The problem of programming and assigning tasks to resources or people, known as "scheduling," has been approached from different approaches and disciplines, for example: operations research, numerical programming and linear programming. This work addresses this problem applied to the Development of agile software, where it is sought to automatically and optimally assign the user stories that the Development team must implement in an iteration or Sprint, taking into account the characteristics of the team, for example, your experience (junior, senior or novice developer). A genetic algorithm is proposed that generates the assignment of tasks for the iteration or Development Sprint. The validation of the proposed algorithm was performed in a case study, it was observed that the result obtained is very similar to that obtained by an expert.En el desarrollo de aplicaciones software, la asignación de las tareas de desarrollo es una actividad fundamental, de ella depende el éxito del desarrollo del proyecto, asignar las tareas de desarrollo a la persona correcta, en el tiempo adecuado y de forma óptima, puede traer una reducción en el tiempo de desarrollo y en los costos del proyecto.  El problema de la programación y asignación de tareas a recursos o personas, conocido “scheduling” ha sido abordado desde diferentes enfoques y disciplinas, por ejemplo: la investigación de operaciones, la programación numérica y la programación lineal. En este trabajo se aborda este problema aplicado al desarrollo de software ágil, donde se busca asignar de forma automática y óptima las historias de usuario que deben implementar en una iteración o Sprint el equipo de desarrollo, teniendo en cuenta las características propias del equipo, por ejemplo, su experiencia (desarrollador junior, senior o novato). Se propone un algoritmo genético que genera la asignación de tareas para la iteración o Sprint de desarrollo. Se realizó la validación del algoritmo propuesto en un caso de estudio, se pudo observar que el resultado obtenido es muy similar al obtenido por una persona experta
