A novel use of AI for prediction of clinical deterioration in a post-acute hospital

There is a growing literature on the prediction of risk of deterioration in hospital settings, including by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) models. However, this literature has focused on acute-care hospitals, rather than post-acute facilities, where the risk of deterioration remains high. Post-acute facilities tend to have lower digital maturity and poorer data foundations, as well as less rich physiologic data, making the implementation of AI tools for deterioration challenging. In this study, we demon…

An application of growth curve analysis to the ammunition stockpile deterioration model by Sohn, So Young.. Public domain

In brief

There is a growing literature on the prediction of risk of deterioration in hospital settings, including by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) models. However, this literature has focused on acute-care hospitals, rather than post-acute facilities, where the risk of deterioration remains high.

Post-acute facilities tend to have lower digital maturity and poorer data foundations, as well as less rich physiologic data, making the implementation of AI tools for deterioration challenging. In this study, we demonstrate a novel use of AI for the prediction of clinical deterioration in a post-acute hospital.

Main points

  1. However, this literature has focused on acute-care hospitals, rather than post-acute facilities, where the risk of deterioration remains high.
  2. Post-acute facilities tend to have lower digital maturity and poorer data foundations, as well as less rich physiologic data, making the implementation of AI tools for deterioration challenging.
  3. In this study, we demonstrate a novel use of AI for the prediction of clinical deterioration in a post-acute hospital.

The problem

There is a growing literature on the prediction of risk of deterioration in hospital settings, including by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) models.
