INTRODUCTION: Emergency departments (EDs) are critical for ensuring timely patient care, especially in triage, where accurate prioritisation is essential for patient safety and resource utilisation. Building on previous research, this study leverages...
Emergency department (ED) overcrowding has become a critical issue in hospital management, leading to increased patient wait times and higher rates of individuals leaving without being seen (LWBS). This study aims to identify key factors influencing ...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into health care, offering potential benefits in patient education, triage, and administrative efficiency. This study evaluates AI-driven dialogue interfaces within an electronic health record a...
Early warning scores are used to assess acute patients' risk of being in a critical situation, allowing for early appropriate treatment, avoiding critical outcomes. The early warning scores use changes in vital signs to provide an assessment, however...
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...
IMPORTANCE: Under austere prehospital conditions, rapid classification of injured patients for intervention or transport is essential for providing lifesaving care. Discerning which patients need care most urgently further allows for optimal allocati...
BACKGROUND: Emergency departments (EDs) face significant challenges due to overcrowding, prolonged waiting times, and staff shortages, leading to increased strain on health care systems. Efficient triage systems and accurate departmental guidance are...
OBJECTIVES: Neurological emergencies pose significant challenges in medical care in resource-limited countries. Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly health chatbots, offers a promising solution. Rigorous validation is required to ensure safety ...
BACKGROUND: Overcrowding in emergency departments (EDs) leads to delayed treatments, poor patient outcomes, and increased staff workloads. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have emerged as promising tools to optimize triage.
