The data generated by these AI tools lays the foundation for the development of predictive models, enabling healthcare professionals to anticipate patient outcomes and healthcare costs with greater accuracy. As these models continue to evolve and utilize information from expansive datasets, they become adept at predicting better patient outcomes and the probability of malpractice.
Dr. Arpita Hazra, the Clinical Patient Safety Data Specialist for Healthcare Risk Advisors, stated how this relationship between technology and healthcare will help improve clinical decision-making and expand patient safety to reduce the burden on healthcare providers. She offered some insights into the potential of AI and machine learning to reshape the future of healthcare.
Dr. Hazra's Thoughts on Patient Outcomes
"Artificial intelligence and machine-learning models can be used to create clinical decision-making support tools that can integrate into the EMR, which can help fill care gaps in busy healthcare settings. This will reduce the incidence of incorrect diagnosis, reduce the delay in diagnosis and delay in treatment for patients, help the providers in ordering the correct diagnostic tests, and help escalate the patient’s care when needed.”
