This project is my first end-to-end Excel MIS Dashboard, built during the foundational phase of my journey into MIS and Data Analytics.
The dashboard focuses on real-time Emergency Room (ER) data for a hospital and showcases how Excel can be a powerful tool for data-driven decision-making in the healthcare domain.
It enables healthcare administrators to:
- Visualize key performance metrics
- Reduce service delays
- Make timely operational improvements
- Use intuitive, interactive reports for strategic decisions
Hospitals often face challenges in managing emergency room (ER) operations efficiently.
Without a centralized reporting system, decision-makers struggle to identify peak load periods, track wait times, and improve patient satisfaction.
This project addresses those challenges by:
- Consolidating ER performance data in one place
- Providing quick, visual insights to hospital management
- Highlighting operational bottlenecks and improvement areas
The core aim of this dashboard is to empower hospital stakeholders with real-time visibility into Emergency Room performance.
By presenting critical metrics in a visually engaging format, this dashboard enables decision-makers to:
β
Identify peak traffic periods
β
Monitor patient service and wait times
β
Analyze patient demographics and satisfaction
β
Evaluate department-level referrals
β
Improve overall emergency operations
The dashboard offers a consolidated view of essential metrics through a combination of charts, conditional formatting, and dynamic Excel features:
- π₯ Patient Count Trends β Visualized using sparklines to detect peak days and patient flow patterns
- β± Average Waiting Time β Tracks delays before treatment and helps in optimizing staff efficiency
- π¬ Satisfaction Score β Reflects patient feedback on ER experience and service quality
- π Admission Status β Shows % of patients admitted vs. not admitted
- π Age Group Distribution β Classifies patients into age brackets for demographic insight
- β Timeliness of Service β % of patients seen within 30 minutes
- π« Gender Analysis β Compares male vs. female patient visits
- π₯ Department Referrals β Reveals departments receiving the most ER referrals (e.g., Orthopedics, Physician, etc.)
-
Source: Self-created dataset for learning purposes
-
Records: Contains patient-level ER visit information for a defined time period
-
Key Fields:
- Patient ID
- Date of Visit
- Waiting Time (Minutes)
- Satisfaction Score
- Age Group
- Gender
- Admission Status
- Referral Department
This dashboard was built entirely in Microsoft Excel, utilizing:
-
π Data Cleaning & Structuring β Removed null values, corrected formatting, ensured proper tabular structure
-
π Pivot Tables β Aggregated ER data by categories for dynamic summaries
-
π Charts β Bar, Pie, Doughnut, and Column Charts used for impactful visuals
-
π Sparklines β Trend indicators for daily ER visits
-
π¨ Conditional Formatting β Highlighted abnormal patterns or KPIs visually
-
π§ Excel Formulas β Used:
IF()
,AVERAGEIF()
,COUNTIF()
INDEX-MATCH()
,SUMIFS()
- Logical and aggregation functions for automation
- Requirement Understanding β Identify KPIs relevant to hospital ER performance
- Data Preparation β Clean, format, and organize the dataset
- Pivot Table Creation β Summarize key metrics
- Chart Development β Build visuals for each KPI
- Dashboard Design β Combine elements into a single interactive sheet
- Testing & Refinement β Validate metrics and improve layout
This dashboard gave me real-world exposure to how Excel functions as a Business Intelligence (BI) tool.
It also helped me understand the end-to-end workflow of data analysis and reporting in a critical industry like healthcare.
Key Takeaways:
- β Importance of clean, structured data for analysis
- β Role of visual storytelling in decision-making
- β Power of Excel tools like Pivot Tables and Charts
- β Confidence in creating independent Excel MIS projects from scratch
From the dashboard, hospital administrators can:
- Identify busiest days and prepare staff accordingly
- Reduce average waiting times by adjusting shifts
- Focus on departments with highest referrals to balance workloads
- Enhance patient satisfaction through timely care
This project lays a strong foundation but also opens doors for further innovation:
- π Connect with Power Query for automated refreshes
- π‘ Link to external sources like CSV, Access, or SQL databases
- π Rebuild using Power BI for enhanced interactivity
- π Integrate time-series forecasting (e.g., for patient inflow)
- Download/Clone Repository
- Open the
.xlsx
file in Microsoft Excel - Explore the dashboard sheet for interactive visuals
- Modify the dataset to see updated results instantly
