Lead organisation
Northern Health
Summary
Northern Health’s ‘Staying Well’ initiative focuses firstly on identifying patients with chronic and complex health requirements and then providing a service that supports them in the community.
The ACDC project, which is part of Staying Well, harnessed machine learning to more accurately predict people at high risk of multiple unplanned hospital admissions and detect deterioration in health while the person is still at home, enabling proactive care.
Aims
- Develop highly accurate models that can predict patients at high risk of multiple unplanned hospital admissions
- Develop a model that provides real-time detection of deteriorating health in patients with complex chronic condition in their home
- Train other health service staff in machine learning analysis so that the learnings can be applied and scaled up across Victoria
