Yes the raw data required is completely independent of any PII and fully HIPAA compliant. So for example a hospital using Epic or Cerner or other EMR scheduling and just provide a clean list of historical appointment times and lengths, no names or dates or other such data needed. So the approach is fully HIPPA compliant requiring no sensitive patient info needed. The data set is used to forecast future volumes and apply operational constraints (nurse / doctor / waiting room schedules) to create optimized templates for furture appointments
