OBJECTIVE: Machine learning (ML) models have emerged as tools to predict length of stay (LOS) and disposition decision (DD) in emergency departments (EDs) to combat overcrowding. However, site-specific ML models are not transferable to different site...
Accurate in-hospital length of stay prediction is a vital quality metric for hospital leaders and health policy decision-makers. It assists with decision-making and informs hospital operations involving factors such as patient flow, elective cases, a...
Hospital length of stay (HLOS) is a critical healthcare metric influencing patient outcomes, resource utilization, and healthcare costs. While reducing HLOS can improve hospital efficiency and patient throughput, it also poses risks such as premature...
This study explores the use of open-source large language models (LLMs) to automate generation of German discharge summaries from structured clinical data. The structured data used to produce AI-generated summaries were manually extracted from electr...
