Important results from the project
The project has achieved its objective, especially through the collaboration with the Clinical Operational Research Unit at University College London. The testing of the prediction tool has given good results, which has paved the way for further testing. The project has also strengthened the expertise within the AI Competence Centre and led to increased networking with other hospitals in Swedish regions. It has also enabled the project group to present the work in an international context.
Expected long term effects
If the evaluated prediction tool can be implemented and subsequently used in the operations at Sahlgrenska, it could enable the development of processes for a more efficient handling of high patient inflow, which in turn can strengthen both the quality of patient care and the clinical work environment. The goal is also a continued collaboration between Clinical Operational Research Unit and the AI Competence Centre as well as a strengthened network between hospitals in different Swedish regions.
Approach and implementation
The project has been conducted according to plan and was based on two visits from Kompetenscentrum AI to the Clinical Operational Research Unit – a longer visit of four weeks and a shorter one of two weeks. Both visits contributed to progress in testing the prediction tool and to the exchange of experience. The collaboration has also continued remotely during the periods in between.
The schedule was followed with only minor adjustments, and the collaboration between the parties has worked well.
