Pilot Project in Applied Artificial Intelligence: Using Machine Learning to Improve the Safety of Hospital Care

Description

This project aims to

(1) develop and test a predictive model identifying emerging sepsis using artificial intelligence and machine learning, and (2) translate model-based learnings into improved operational criteria and a proposal to pilot the new identification method.

This project leverages in-hospital and ambulatory data from the Sutter Health electronic health record.
