Mixed-methods evaluation of how a predictive model pilot intervention addresses patient non-attendance at outpatient services in an NHS Foundation Trust in England.

BMJ open
BACKGROUND: There is interest in using predictive models to address non-attendance of healthcare appointments without prior notification. Although several National Health Service (NHS) hospital trusts have piloted predictive models for non-attendance...

Using Machine Learning to Predict-Then-Optimize Elective Orthopedic Surgery Scheduling to Improve Operating Room Utilization: Retrospective Study.

JMIR medical informatics
BACKGROUND: Total knee and hip arthroplasty (TKA and THA) are among the most performed elective procedures. Rising demand and the resource-intensive nature of these procedures have contributed to longer wait times despite significant health care inve...

Applying the Model for Assessing the Value of AI (MAS-AI) Framework To Organizational AI: A Case Study of Surgical Scheduling Assessment in Italy.

Journal of medical systems
This work aims to explore the transferability of the Model for Assessing the value of Artificial Intelligence in medical imaging (MAS-AI) in the Italian context through a case-study.We applied the MAS-AI, a model for assessing AI in healthcare, to fu...

Predicting Missed Appointments in Primary Care: A Personalized Machine Learning Approach.

Annals of family medicine
PURPOSE: Factors influencing missed appointments are complex and difficult to anticipate and intervene against. To optimize appointment adherence, we aimed to use personalized machine learning and big data analytics to predict the risk of and contrib...

A Novel Natural Language Processing Model for Triaging Head and Neck Patient Appointments.

Otolaryngology--head and neck surgery : official journal of American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery
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...

Innovative Technologies for Smarter and Efficient Operating Room Scheduling.

Journal of medical systems
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...

Predictive Optimization of Patient No-Show Management in Primary Healthcare Using Machine Learning.

Journal of medical systems
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 ...

Real-Time Analytics and AI for Managing No-Show Appointments in Primary Health Care in the United Arab Emirates: Before-and-After Study.

JMIR formative research
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...

Utilization of Machine Learning Models to More Accurately Predict Case Duration in Primary Total Joint Arthroplasty.

The Journal of arthroplasty
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.

Enhancing Aortic Aneurysm Surveillance: Transformer Natural Language Processing for Flagging and Measuring in Radiology Reports.

Annals of vascular surgery
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...
