Why the study?
Unplanned readmissions increase unnecessary health care costs and reduce quality of care, creating a need for early readmission prediction models utilizing nursing data to support preemptive discharge care.
Can machine learning models utilizing nursing data accurately predict unplanned readmission in high-risk discharged patients?
Can machine learning models utilizing nursing data accurately predict unplanned readmission in high-risk discharged patients?
Machine learning models incorporating nursing data can predict unplanned readmissions in high-risk patients, with early prediction models showing a higher reliance on nursing variables.
