A framework for making predictive models useful in practice

Kenneth Jung et al.

Summary: This study analyzed how healthcare delivery factors impact the net benefit of triggering an ACP workflow based on 12-month mortality predictions, finding that work capacity constraints and discharge timing can significantly affect the net benefit. Establishing an outpatient ACP workflow can help mitigate the reduction in benefits, with developing outpatient ACP capability likely to provide more benefit to patient care compared to increasing inpatient ACP capacity.

Prediction of patient disposition: comparison of computer and human approaches and a proposed synthesis

Yuval Barak-Corren et al.

Summary: The study compared the accuracy of computer and physician predictions of patient hospitalization, finding that a hybrid physician-computer model had the highest predictive value. Physicians relied more on clinical appearance while the computer model focused on technical data-driven features.

Clinical impact and quality of randomized controlled trials involving interventions evaluating artificial intelligence prediction tools: a systematic review

Qian Zhou et al.

Summary: The study found that the evidence of the impact of TS, ML, and DL tools in clinical practice was limited, with DL applications not yet fully spread in medicine. In the future, DL may integrate more complex clinical problems than ML and TS tools. Rigorous studies are required before the clinical application of these tools.
