INFORMS Seminar: Machine Learning to Address Hospital Capacity
2019-09-26 17:00 - 18:00 (America/New_York) | Curry Student Center, 360 Huntington Ave., Boston, MA, 02115, United States
Want to know how to combine Machine Learning and Optimization in healthcare? Join our seminar with MIT post-doc Dr. Taghi Khaniyev on September 26th, 5:00 – 6:00 PM at Curry 333. To join us, please RSVP here.
Abstract:
Hospital congestion is caused by, among other factors, an imbalance of the timing of patient admissions and discharges. We implemented a real-time clinical support tool to predict next-day’s surgical patient discharges. We trained a machine learning model using 20,745 previous patients’ recovery care paths at a Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). Then, with an iterative process, we analyzed mismatches between predicted and actual discharges to identify areas for improvement in the discharge process and to enhance the accuracy of the tool. Three pilot implementations were conducted on the selected inpatient floors in collaboration with nurse directors and attending surgeons. The model achieved an average out-of-sample AUC of 0.89 and identified an estimated 128 savable bed-days during the 90-day study period. To enable timely discharges, we also developed an optimization model which identifies a minimal list of barriers that need to be addressed to successfully transition each patient out of hospital. This list would ideally serve as an automatic draft ‘action plan’ for each patient which is of utmost importance, especially at times of capacity crises.

Andrew Dreyfus, President and CEO of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (BCBSMA)
Massachusetts has long been at the vanguard of health care in the U.S. – from the country’s first public health department to its landmark universal health coverage law and statewide cost control framework. What can the Massachusetts experience tell us about the nature of health system change, the potential for improvement, the challenges that remain and what it all means in the run up to 2020?

Andrew Dreyfus is President and Chief Executive Officer for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (BCBSMA), one of the largest independent Blue Cross Blue Shield plans in the country. During his tenure, BCBSMA has consistently been recognized as one of the nation’s best health plans for member satisfaction and quality. Mr. Dreyfus assumed the role of CEO in September 2010.
Mr. Dreyfus joined BCBSMA in 2005 as Executive Vice President, Health Care Services. During his tenure, BCBSMA created the Alternative Quality Contract, one of the largest commercial payment reform initiatives in the nation. Previously Mr. Dreyfus served as founding President of the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts Foundation, where he developed the “Roadmap to Coverage,” a multi-year initiative which led to the passage of the state’s landmark 2006 Health Reform Law.
Prior to his appointment at Blue Cross, Mr. Dreyfus was Executive Vice President of the Massachusetts Hospital Association (MHA) and held a number of senior health and regulatory positions in Massachusetts state government.

Vinod K. Sahney PhD is a Distinguished University Professor at Northeastern University. His healthcare industry experience includes over 30 years at Henry Ford Health System, MI and Blue Cross Blue Shield of MA as Senior Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer.
