Assessing the impact of emergency department short stay units using length-of-stay prediction and discrete event simulation [PDF]
Accurately predicting hospital length-of-stay at the time a patient is admitted to hospital may help guide clinical decision making and resource allocation. In this study we aim to build a decision support system that predicts hospital length-of-stay for patients admitted to general internal medicine from the emergency department.

Clinical Utility of the Automatic Phenotype Annotation in Unstructured Clinical Notes: ICU Use Cases [PDF]
Objective: Clinical notes contain information not present elsewhere, including drug response and symptoms, all of which are highly important when predicting key outcomes in acute care patients. We propose the automatic annotation of phenotypes from clinical notes as a method to capture essential information, which is complementary to typically used ...
