Machine learning can be utilized in nursing through several applications:
- Predictive Analytics: ML algorithms can analyze patient data to predict outcomes such as disease progression, patient deterioration, or readmission risks. - Personalized Medicine: By analyzing individual patient data, ML can help tailor treatments to meet the unique needs of each patient. - Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS): ML can assist nurses in making informed clinical decisions by providing real-time recommendations based on patient data. - Workflow Optimization: ML can optimize nursing workflows by predicting patient admission rates, optimizing staff schedules, and managing inventory.
