Machine Learning Helps Hospital Improve Patient Care and Reduce Costs
Challenge:
A hospital was struggling with long wait times, high readmission rates, and increasing costs. They needed a solution that could help them improve patient care, reduce costs, and increase efficiency.
Solution:
Scadea developed a machine learning algorithm that could predict which patients were most likely to be readmitted and which ones required additional care. By analyzing data from electronic health records, the algorithm was able to identify patterns that could help the hospital make more informed decisions about patient care. Scadea also developed a real-time dashboard that provided doctors and nurses with up-to-date information on each patient’s status, enabling them to make faster and more accurate decisions.
Results:
Thanks to Scadea’s machine-learning solution, the hospital was able to reduce its readmission rates by 25%, resulting in significant cost savings. The real-time dashboard also helped doctors and nurses make faster and more informed decisions, resulting in improved patient care and shorter wait times. The hospital was so pleased with the results that they continued to work with Scadea to further refine the algorithm and explore other applications of machine learning in healthcare.
