Improved radiological diagnosis of osteoporotic vertebral fragility fractures following UK-wide interventions and re-audit-can this be maintained and translated into clinical practice?

Osteoporosis international : a journal established as result of cooperation between the European Foundation for Osteoporosis and the National Osteoporosis Foundation of the USA
UNLABELLED: To determine the potential economic, morbidity and mortality impact of improvements in reporting of vertebral fragility fractures (VFFs) following a complete audit cycle. Six percent interval increase in reporting of moderate/severe VFFs ...

Rigorous validation of machine learning in laboratory medicine: guidance toward quality improvement.

Critical reviews in clinical laboratory sciences
The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in laboratory medicine will revolutionize predictive modeling using clinical laboratory information. Machine learning (ML), a sub-discipline of AI, involves fitting algorithms to datasets and is broadly...

A quality improvement project of patient perception of AI-generated discharge summaries: a comparison with doctor-written summaries.

Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England
INTRODUCTION: Every patient admitted to hospital should receive a discharge letter when they leave. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the capability to fulfil this task. Here, we investigate the use of AI to generate discharge letters compared with le...

Improving diagnosis-based quality measures: an application of machine learning to the prediction of substance use disorder among outpatients.

BMJ open quality
OBJECTIVE: Substance use disorder (SUD) is clinically under-detected and under-documented. We built and validated machine learning (ML) models to estimate SUD prevalence from electronic health record (EHR) data and to assess variation in facility-lev...

Integration of Virtual Technology and Artificial Intelligence Improves Satisfaction, Patient Safety, and Nursing Workforce Efficiency.

Journal of nursing care quality
BACKGROUND: Virtual care technology including artificial intelligence (AI) may augment nursing functions creating flexibility in staffing that reduces workforce shortages and enhances patient safety.

Clinician Experiences With Ambient Scribe Technology to Assist With Documentation Burden and Efficiency.

JAMA network open
IMPORTANCE: Timely evaluation of ambient scribing technology is warranted to assess whether this technology can lessen the burden of clinical documentation on clinicians.

Entity-enhanced BERT for medical specialty prediction based on clinical questionnaire data.

PloS one
A medical specialty prediction system for remote diagnosis can reduce the unexpected costs incurred by first-visit patients who visit the wrong hospital department for their symptoms. To develop medical specialty prediction systems, several researche...

From errors to excellence: the pre-analytical journey to improved quality in diagnostics. A scoping review.

Clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine
This scoping review focuses on the evolution of pre-analytical errors (PAEs) in medical laboratories, a critical area with significant implications for patient care, healthcare costs, hospital length of stay, and operational efficiency. The Covidence...
