OBJECTIVE: Inaccurate patient triage contributes to suboptimal clinical capacity management and delays in patient care, which in cancer patients may significantly increase morbidity and mortality. We developed a natural language processing (NLP) mode...
An optimized scheduling system for surgical procedures is considered fundamental for maximizing hospital resource utilization and improving patient outcomes. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and New Technologies is paramount in t...
The "no-show" problem in healthcare refers to the prevalent phenomenon where patients schedule appointments with healthcare providers but fail to attend them without prior cancellation or rescheduling. In addressing this issue, our study delves into ...
BACKGROUND: Primary health care (PHC) services face operational challenges due to high patient volumes, leading to complex management needs. Patients access services through booked appointments and walk-in visits, with walk-in visits often facing lon...
BACKGROUND: Accurate operative scheduling is essential for the appropriation of operating room esources. We sought to implement a machine learning model to predict primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) case time.
BACKGROUND: Incidental findings of aortic aneurysms (AAs) often go unreported, and established patients are frequently lost to follow-up. Natural language processing (NLP) offers a promising solution to address these issues. While rule-based NLP meth...
BACKGROUND: The timely allocation of appointments for new patients is a daily challenge in rheumatological practice, which can be supported by digital solutions. The question is to find the simplest and most effective possible method for prioritizati...
