Abstract
A decision support tool is provided for discharging a patient by predicting the probability of a patient's readmission based on information prior to discharge. The information used to make the prediction may include labs, vitals, diagnoses, and medications from prior encounters and from the current encounter. At least some of this information may be used to compute a readmission prediction. One or more recurrent neural networks may be utilized to generate the prediction, and one or more sequences may be generated from the patient information to feed into the one or more recurrent neural networks. Based on the prediction, one or more actions may be initiated to reduce the probability of readmission.
