  • Publication number: 20140095201
    Abstract: An adverse event may be prevented by predicting the probability of a given patient to have or undergo the adverse event. The ability to predict the probability of the adverse event may be enhanced when a model is derived from public health data to categorize and propose values for medical record fields. The probability alone may prevent the adverse event by educating the patient or medical professional. The probability may be predicted at any time, such as upon entry of information for the patient, periodic analysis, or at the time of admission. The probability may be used to generate a workflow action item to reduce the probability, to warn, to output appropriate instructions, and/or assist in avoiding adverse event. The probability may be specific to a hospital, physician group, or other medical entity, allowing prevention to focus on past adverse event causes for the given entity.
