    How AI Is Improving Predictive Analytics in Healthcare

    Predictive analytics and artificial intelligence can enable a more efficient pathway to a better treatment protocol.

    For a long time, healthcare professionals have tried every necessary means to help their patients get better with the purest of intentions. However, many times, they are limited by the bare fact that they are humans. Being human means there’s only so much they can do with the information, energy, time, and resources available to them. Yet, they strive to search for, process, and remember all necessary information related to the different medical conditions they are managing while considering the personal medical histories of all the patients they are managing. This is a significant amount of information to take in at a time. This is why predictive analytics and artificial intelligence come in to play crucial roles in healthcare delivery.

    As a field of study, artificial intelligence seeks to replicate humans’ abilities without the limitations of power, energy, and time. With the use of advanced algorithms, IT systems, and data processing capabilities, it is possible to produce prediction driven by data within a few seconds without human intervention. Predictive analytics uses statistical methods and technology to run through a huge volume of information and analyze it to predict individual outcomes. These predictions, in medicine, can vary from hospital readmission rates to responses to medications, etc. Some possible examples are determining a disease’s likelihood, predicting infections, calculating future wellness, etc. When historical data and real-time back it, predictive analytics in healthcare can identify risky medical conditions ahead of time.

    Predictive analytics has many positives and benefits in healthcare. According to research, it has played a massive role in improving the healthcare industry in the following ways.

    Predicting Epidemic Conditions
    Many years ago, it would have been impossible to even think of predicting an epidemic before it began, but with predictive analytics in healthcare, this is a reality now. It is now possible for health organizations to predict infectious diseases using their access to data such as population density, economic profile, reported cases, weather reports, etc.

    The primary source of big data analytics is machine learning models, and they play a significant role in the improvement of healthcare service delivery, especially in highly prone areas. We can now predict chronic diseases such as heart attacks more accurately and efficiently. These leads can massively bring about an upgrade in the quality of treatment a patient gets while also significantly reducing the cost.

    Predicting the Growth of Chronic Diseases
    With the ever-rising world population, there is an increasing importance for medical authorities to track the general well-being and health of the population to take timely steps to prevent the rise of chronic diseases when necessary. As it was not possible to predict disease risks, this caused many people to develop long-term chronic conditions that always become harder to treat and affect the patient’s health substantially.

    Healthcare organizations can now use AI-powered predictive analytics to manage the population’s health, especially with the kind of capabilities machine learning has and the continuous advancement of predictive analytics. Different factors are combined to gain insights into big data analytics. An example is risk score prediction.

    Risk score prediction is based on reports from lab tests, electronic health records, biometric data, and a few other social determinants combined to provide insight into the population’s health. The machine uses this data to identify the population sections with a significant number of high-risk patients. The doctors become alert in areas that need interventions and begin to take adequate steps.

    Optimum Allocation of Resources and Staff
    In many regions, the major problem healthcare organizations face (and one of the reasons they suffer poor healthcare delivery in that region) is an imbalance in the distribution and allocation of healthcare facilities and resources. This is what differentiates and is the problem of hospitals in villages and suburban areas. Medical practitioners often fail to judge an excessive demand for resources for healthcare and unprecedented critical conditions. What this causes is an overflow of emergency wards and mismanagement of resources. 

    With the help of artificial intelligence-driven predictive analytics in healthcare, it is now possible for healthcare institutions to streamline medical resources allocation. There are a number of ways to accomplish this:
    • They predict the patient flow and the fluctuations to ensure there are enough resources allocated.
    • Staff is rescheduled based on the predicted flow of patients to ensure more efficient and effective patient care.
    • Utilization patterns are detected from patients’ data, making it possible to manage their service and rate of appointment properly.

    Conclusion
    Predictive analytics in the healthcare industry can be positive for all involved parties. The healthcare practitioners and providers are more effective and efficient with their work as they’re equipped with the knowledge of the places to focus on at a given time and the disease they’re battling. Invariably, this means the patient receives improved healthcare treatment as there will be enough resources allocated toward their health. Healthcare providers find it easier to perform their jobs, and the patient enjoys an improved and more affordable service.
