Developing interpretable machine learning models to predict length of stay and disposition decision for adult patients in emergency departments.

BMJ health & care informatics
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...

Using interpretable survival analysis to assess hospital length of stay.

BMC health services research
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...

Strategies to Reduce Hospital Length of Stay: Evidence and Challenges.

Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania)
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...

Automated generation of discharge summaries: leveraging large language models with clinical data.

Scientific reports
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...

Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) readiness predictions using machine learning: a comparative study of algorithms.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
INTRODUCTION: Accurate and timely discharge from the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) is essential to prevent postoperative complications and optimize hospital resource utilization. Premature discharge can lead to severe issues such as respiratory or...

Evaluation and comparison of machine learning algorithms for predicting discharge against medical advice in injured inpatients.

Surgery
BACKGROUND: Whether the application of machine learning algorithms offers an advantage over logistic regression in forecasting discharge against medical advice occurrences needs to be evaluated.

Using Machine Learning to Identify Social Determinants of Health that Impact Discharge Disposition for Hospitalized Patients.

Journal of the American Medical Directors Association
OBJECTIVE: To identify self-reported social determinants of health (SDOH) among hospitalized patients that predict discharge to a skilled nursing facility (SNF).

Predicting Readmission Among High-Risk Discharged Patients Using a Machine Learning Model With Nursing Data: Retrospective Study.

JMIR medical informatics
BACKGROUND: Unplanned readmissions increase unnecessary health care costs and reduce the quality of care. It is essential to plan the discharge care from the beginning of hospitalization to reduce the risk of readmission. Machine learning-based readm...

Enhancing readmission prediction model in older stroke patients by integrating insight from readiness for hospital discharge: Prospective cohort study.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: The 30-day hospital readmission rate is a key indicator of healthcare quality and system efficiency. This study aimed to develop machine-learning (ML) models to predict unplanned 30-day readmissions in older patients with ischemic stroke ...

Effectiveness of Transformer-Based Large Language Models in Identifying Adverse Drug Reaction Relations from Unstructured Discharge Summaries in Singapore.

Drug safety
INTRODUCTION: Transformer-based large language models (LLMs) have transformed the field of natural language processing and led to significant advancements in various text processing tasks. However, the applicability of these LLMs in identifying relat...
