1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
identifying a set of notifications, wherein:
a recipient received a notification,
an anonymized patient received a treatment,
the recipient patient based on (i) a set of first identifiers for a set of anonymized patients and (ii) a set of second identifiers for a set of recipients;
determining a set of time relationships between a set of treatments that were received by the set of anonymized patients and the set of notifications;
training a time decay model to identify, for each time relationship in the set of time relationships, a set of coefficients for a decay function representing an impact of the notification on the corresponding treatment relative to the time relationship;
computing, based on the set of coefficients and for each notification in the set of notifications, a score representing a likelihood that the notification being provided to the recipient impacted the corresponding treatment being received by the anonymized patient;
determining a notification plan for notifying potential patients of treatments based on the scores for each notification included in the set of notifications, wherein the notification plan is determined to increase a number of treatments to be subsequently received by the anonymized patients; and
scheduling the notifications based on the notification plan.
