This means it could help hospitals to forecast, instead of review, the needs of patients in their care and so better arrange resources to meet them.
The promise of big data to support managing high-risk patients and save costs in the high-spending healthcare industry is clear from the research. As is the value of applying big data approaches to clinical text data to provide clinical decision support, but its use in hospital operational planning had previously been unexplored.
Our work shows the feasibility of using artificial intelligence to help hospitals better allocate resources and meet the needs of patients. We hope our findings will be of interest to the communities that work towards utilising big data to promote efficiency and quality in healthcare.
** so… with AI in real time… could that also play into eugenics. This patient with low social rating with dire DX that will cost major bucks they don't have, hospital can't eat those costs. Patient given dire prognosis, dies… next patient… how is this civilized for humanity?
