What Are Some Applications of Predictive Analytics in Nursing?
Predictive analytics can be applied in various areas of nursing. One application is in predicting patient deterioration in acute care settings, where algorithms analyze vital signs and lab results to provide early warnings. Another application is in chronic disease management, where data is used to predict exacerbations and guide interventions. Additionally, predictive models are used in staffing to forecast patient admissions and discharges, ensuring adequate nurse-to-patient ratios.
