Children’s National’s AI calls in extra ER staff before sick kids give up waiting, and busy-day waits improved more than 25%
Doctors at Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C., and data scientists at Virginia Tech built machine-learning models that forecast, every hour, when seriously ill children are likely to leave the ER without being seen. When the forecast trips, backup doctors and nurses are called in. The hospital says waits on its busiest September days improved by more than 25%.
