Hospitalization is a stressful experience for children. Socially assistive robots (SARs), designed to interact with humans, might be a means to mitigate a child's stress and support its well-being. A systematic state-of-the-art review was performed t...
INTRODUCTION: Readmission from inpatient rehabilitation facilities to acute care hospitals is a serious problem. This study aims to develop a predictive model based on machine learning algorithms to identify patients at high risk of readmission.
BACKGROUND: Value-based and patient-specific care represent 2 critical areas of focus that have yet to be fully reconciled by today's bundled care model. Using a predictive naïve Bayesian model, the objectives of this study were (1) to develop a mach...
OBJECTIVE: Instruments rating risk of harm to self and others are widely used in inpatient forensic psychiatry settings. A potential alternate or supplementary means of risk prediction is from the automated analysis of case notes in Electronic Health...
