A study from researchers at the Regenstrief Institute and Indiana University found that machine learning models can be used to help support public health decision making amid the pandemic.

A new study from researchers at the Regenstrief Institute and Indiana University found that machine learning models trained using statewide health information exchange data can predict a patient’s likelihood of being hospitalized with COVID-19.

The paper, published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research, demonstrates the potential for HIE information to help shape public health decision making.

“It has been quite challenging to bring the bread-and-butter data generated by healthcare systems together with public health decision-making – entities which have long been separate and distinct,” said study senior author...
