Title: Developing Interpretable Machine Learning Models for Predicting Length of Stay and Disposition Decisions in Emergency Departments
Speaker: Dr Long Song
(University of Melbourne)
Summary:
In this seminar, I will present the development and evaluation of interpretable machine learning models designed to predict patient Length of Stay (LOS) and Disposition Decisions (DD) in Emergency Departments (ED). By leveraging comprehensive data preprocessing and feature selection techniques, we created models that offer robust performance while remaining interpretable for clinical use. The seminar will highlight the importance of transparency in model development, and how these models can aid clinicians in decision-making processes by providing actionable insights into patient flow management.
