Evaluation of Machine Learning Algorithms for Pressure Injury Risk Assessment in a Hospital with Limited IT Resources.

Clinical decision support systems for Nursing Process (NP-CDSSs) help resolve a critical challenge in nursing decision-making through automating the Nursing Process. NP-CDSSs are more effective when they are linked to Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Data allowing for the computation of Risk Assessment Scores. Braden scale (BS) is a well-known scale used to identify the risk of Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injuries (HAPIs).

Developing a Comprehensive Search Strategy for the Systematic Review of Clinical Decision Support Systems for Nursing Practice.

The search strategy of a literature review is of utmost importance as it impacts the validity of its findings. In order to build the best query to guide the literature search on clinical decision support systems applied to nursing clinical practice, we developed an iterative process capitalizing on previous systematic reviews published on similar topics. Three reviews were analyzed relatively to their detection performance.

Early Prediction of All-Cause Clinical Deterioration in General Wards Patients: Development and Validation of a Biomarker-Based Machine Learning Model Derived From Rapid Response Team Activations.

Objective: The aim of the study is to evaluate the performance of a biomarker-based machine learning (ML) model (not including vital signs) derived from reviewed rapid response team (RRT) activations in predicting all-cause deterioration in general wards patients.

Design: This is a retrospective single-institution study. All consecutive adult patients' cases on noncritical wards identified by RRT calls occurring at least 24 hours after patient admission, between April 2018 and June 2020, were included.
