Join our seminar with MIT post-doc Dr. Taghi Khaniyev on September 26th\, 5:00 – 6:00 PM at Curry 333. To join us\, please RSVP here. \nAbstract: \nHospital congestion is caused by\, among other factors\, an imbalance of the timing of patient admissions and discharges. We implemented a real-time clinical support tool to predict next-day’s surgical patient discharges. We trained a machine learning model using 20\,745 previous patients’ recovery care paths at a Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). Then\, with an iterative process\, we analyzed mismatches between predicted and actual discharges to identify areas for improvement in the discharge process and to enhance the accuracy of the tool. Three pilot implementations were conducted on the selected inpatient floors in collaboration with nurse directors and attending surgeons. The model achieved an average out-of-sample AUC of 0.89 and identified an estimated 128 savable bed-days during the 90-day study period. To enable timely discharges\, we also developed an optimization model which identifies a minimal list of barriers that need to be addressed to successfully transition each patient out of hospital. This list would ideally serve as an automatic draft ‘action plan’ for each patient which is of utmost importance\, especially at times of capacity crises.   URL:https://mie.northeastern.edu/event/informs-seminar-machine-learning-to-address-hospital-capacity/ LOCATION:Curry Student Center\, 360 Huntington Ave.\, Boston\, MA\, 02115\, United States ORGANIZER;CN="Student Group%3A Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS)":MAILTO:informsnu@gmail.com GEO:42.3394629;-71.0885286 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Curry Student Center 360 Huntington Ave. Boston MA 02115 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=360 Huntington Ave.:geo:-71.0885286,42.3394629 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20190925T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20190925T193000 DTSTAMP:20260427T123834 CREATED:20190909T230714Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190910T002008Z UID:3941-1569434400-1569439800@mie.northeastern.edu SUMMARY:SOURCE: Showcase of Opportunities for Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavor DESCRIPTION:Undergraduate research experience is a great opportunity for you to learn valuable knowledge and skills while contributing to the technology of the future. Additionally\, you may be eligible to earn academic credit\, a stipend\, or work study (if you’re eligible). \nCurious to learn more about opportunities for undergrads to do research in COE’s many cutting-edge research centers and labs?   \nAttend the SOURCE (Showcase of Opportunities for Undergraduate Research and Creative Endeavor) – Wednesday\, September 25\, 6-7:30pm\, Curry Student Center). This informal recruiting event is an opportunity for you to talk with faculty and students from 100+ on-campus labs and research centers about their current work and upcoming projects for which they are seeking undergraduate researchers. \nThis event is free for all undergraduate students.
