Applying machine learning to predict patient risk for in-hospital new infections

Applying machine learning to predict patient risk for in-hospital new infections

For:
Hospitals
Goal:
Improved Customer Experience, Anticipate Risks
Problem addressed
Sometimes an infection is contracted at the hospital or a complication occurs after surgery. Such health-related adverse events occur in 8% to 12% of all hospitalizations, according to the World Health Organization.
A 2017 report from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) shows that more than 10% of hospital spending is related to the treatment of health-related adverse events that occur during hospitalizations.
Description
The CHUGA hospital in France teamed up with Elsevier to apply machine learning to their historical patient data with the aim of creating models that identify patients at higher risk for healthcare-related adverse events.
The models identify the top 5% of patients with a 4.7x increased risk for life threatening events like thromboembolism or a 40% risk of a prolonged hospital stay. This will allow the hospital to flag patients that fit the risk profile and provide more directed care.
