Researchers from a New York hospital have recently developed an artificial intelligence (AI) computer program that can read physicians’ notes to accurately estimate patients’ risk of death, length of hospital stay, and other factors important to care.<\/p>\n
Designed by a team from the NYU Grossman School of Medicine, the tool is currently in use in its affiliated hospitals to predict the chances that a patient who is discharged will be readmitted within a month.<\/p>\n
Experts have long explored computer algorithms meant to improve healthcare, with some having been shown to make valuable clinical predictions, the New York-based academic medical center said in a press statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, few are in use because computers best process information laid out in neat tables, while physicians typically write in a creative, individualized language that reflects how humans think.<\/p>\n Cumbersome data reorganization has been an obstacle, researchers say, but a new type of AI, large language models (LLM), can “learn” from text without needing specially formatted data.<\/p>\n
