Latest AI and machine learning research in hospital-based medicine for healthcare professionals.
With the passage of recent federal legislation, many medical institutions are now responsible for reaching target hospital readmission rates. Chronic diseases account for many hospital readmissions and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has been recently added to the list of diseases for which the United States government penalizes hospitals incurring excessive readmissions. Though there have b...
Health analysis often involves prediction of multiple outcomes of mixed type. The existing work is restrictive to either a limited number or specific outcome types. We propose a framework for mixed-type multioutcome prediction. Our proposed framework proposes a cumulative loss function composed of a specific loss function for each outcome type-as an example, least square (continuous outcome), hing...
