Machine-learning based triage to determine low-severity patients that can be fast-tracked to admission in ED due to their short discharge length
For:
Emergency Departments in hospitals.
Goal:
Improved Employee EfficiencyProblem addressed
Overcrowding in emergency departments (ED) is a critical problem worldwide, and streaming can alleviate crowding to improve patient flows. Among triage scales, patients labeled as “triage level 3” or “urgent” generally comprise the majority, but there is no uniform criterion for classifying low-severity patients in this diverse population.
The goal was to establish a machine learning model for prediction of low-severity patients with short discharge length of stay. These patients could then be fast-tracked into admission and release.
Description
Both internal and external validation had to be performed in order to build and test the model. A Jan. 2018 to Dec. 2018 dataset from China Medical University Hospital (CMUH) was used for model construction and internal validation, and another from Jan. 2018 to Dec. 2019 from Asia University Hospital (AUH) was applied for external validation.
