BACKGROUND: Environmental surface decontamination is a crucial tool to prevent the spread of infections in hospitals. However, manual cleaning and disinfection may be insufficient to eliminate pathogens from contaminated surfaces. Ultraviolet-C (UV-C...
BACKGROUND: Few studies have examined robotic surgery from a programmatic standpoint, yet this is how hospitals evaluate return on investment clinically and fiscally. This study examines the 10-year experience of a robotic program at a single academi...

Patient "no-shows" are missed appointments resulting in clinical inefficiencies, revenue loss, and discontinuity of care. Using secondary electronic health record (EHR) data, we used machine learning to predict patient no-shows in follow-up and new p...
BACKGROUND: Critical thyroid nodule features are contained in unstructured ultrasound (US) reports. The Thyroid Imaging, Reporting, and Data System (TI-RADS) uses five key features to risk stratify nodules and recommend appropriate intervention. This...

INTRODUCTION: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is still one of the primary causes of death in the developed countries. Stress single-photon emission computed tomography is used to evaluate myocardial perfusion and ventricular function in patients with s...
Traditional methods have long been used for clinical demand forecasting. Machine learning methods represent the next evolution in forecasting, but model choice and optimization remain challenging for achieving optimal results. To determine the best m...
An integrated approach is proposed across visual and textual data to both determine and justify a medical diagnosis by a neural network. As deep learning techniques improve, interest grows to apply them in medical applications. To enable a transition...
