The Challenge: Getting Your Data AI-Ready

Healthcare providers are looking to artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to improve care, streamline processes and workflows, and increase insights. AI has the potential to transform healthcare, but data management and integration challenges can impede AI development efforts, stall healthcare AI projects, and hamper AI investment returns.

Many AI-powered applications leverage data from diverse sources such as EHR systems, smart medical devices, hospital scheduling and billing systems, and public health databases. Data redundancies, inconsistencies, and gaps can impact data quality and integrity, and impair healthcare AI initiatives. Whether you are building an AI-driven healthcare application or deploying one, data that is accessible, reliable, and accurate is critical to success.

Data is Fundamental for Healthcare AI Initiatives

Data is the basis for all AI. The old axiom garbage in, garbage out certainly applies to AI. If the data fed into an AI system is incomplete, inaccurate, or inconsistent, the conclusions drawn from its analysis will certainly be flawed. Unfortunately, in the real world, data is dirty and fragmented, and does not come in tidy, normalized, structured tables. In many cases, data scientists must preprocess, clean, and label data to prepare it for analysis or machine learning.

The ability to control data is key to AI. To be successful, you need to determine which data to feed to AI, understand where that data came from, trace and audit how that data is used, and control access to data and avoid data leaks. You also need to prepare the data in multiple ways and combine multiple data sources.

InterSystems IRIS for Health in Action

Adding Intelligence to Patient Portals
A not-for-profit integrated health system in the US uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve patient experiences and interactions, and boost quality of care. For years, the healthcare provider has relied on InterSystems HealthShare® Personal Community to streamline patient communications. The EHR-independent portal makes it easy for patients to interact with the provider organisation and access their medical records and lab results.

Every day, patients leave thousands of messages, including dozens of clinically urgent messages, on the Personal Community portal. But contact center agents had no automated way to identify and prioritize these important messages, potentially putting patients with urgent-care needs at risk.

Always looking for innovative ways to improve patient care, the health system used InterSystems IRIS for Health to develop a machine learning model to accurately flag urgent messages and move them to the front of the queue. The ML model helps the centralized contact center ensure priority messages are promptly routed to the right clinician, helping improve care delivery and reduce patient frustration. During the first month following go live, 6% of messages were marked as clinically urgent, which is in line with expectations.

Based on the success of this initial application, the healthcare provider plans to use AI to assist patients with common queries like appointment requests or prescription refills, automatically directing the patient to the appropriate web page. Over 15% of portal messages are related to routine actions patients can perform on their own like scheduling an appointment.

The organisation is also exploring additional uses for AI such as summarizing patient messages using two words and generating automated responses to common portal inquiries that don’t require clinician involvement or other human assistance.
Predicting Patient No-Shows
Missed appointments are a significant challenge for healthcare providers. They squander clinical resources, impair care quality, and lead to lost revenue. That’s why a large InterSystems customer developed a machine learning model to forecast patient no-shows and minimize their impact.

The ML model analyses a number of variables including a patient’s past attendance record, socio-economic status, age, and place of residence to predict the likelihood of a no-show. The predictive model helps the provider increase patient volumes, optimize resource utilisation, and avoid revenue loss by factoring no-show probabilities into appointment schedules.

By accurately predicting no-shows, the model enables the provider to schedule an additional 80 appointments per day. And by sending follow-up text, voice, and email reminders to those patients who are most likely to miss appointments, and automatically cancelling and backfilling unconfirmed appointments, the provider has reduced no-shows from 18% to 10% and avoided lost revenue. Now the provider is aiming to further reduce the no-shows rate to 5%.

The provider uses InterSystems IRIS for Health to clean and unify patient data from diverse EHR systems and other applications to prepare it for machine learning.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning have the potential to transform healthcare, but data management and integration challenges can hinder AI initiatives.
