An Electronic Health Record-Based Screening Tool to Support Safe Discharges of COVID-19 Patients in the Emergency Department

Description

This study created, trained, and tested machine learning (ML) algorithms to predict emergency department returns and morbidity or mortality among returns for COVID-19 patients, with results showing ML’s potential to inform clinicians on whether admission to the hospital may be needed for the prevention of complications and to prioritize resources for higher risk patients.
