Background: Predicting the risk of glycated hemoglobin (HbA) elevation can help identify patients with the potential for developing serious chronic health problems, such as diabetes. Early preventive interventions based upon advanced predictive models using electronic health records data for identifying such patients can ultimately help provide better health outcomes.

Objective: Our study investigated the performance of predictive models to forecast HbA elevation levels by employing several machine learning models.

Background: Patient satisfaction is one of the primary Key Performance Indicator (KPI) goal of health care service, and it creates many reasons for implementing research, plans, and innovations to achieve it for a better quality of life. Cutting Patient waiting time would increase patient satisfaction.

Objective: A healthcare framework has been constructed utilizing a machine learning approach to construct an early predicting preparation model of pharmacy prescriptions and the worthiness of changing the outpatient pharmacy workflow.

Introduction: Dementia is a progressive disorder associated with age, which is characterized by deterioration of individuals' cognitive functions such as the ability to perform routine tasks. With the increase of human life expectancy, the prevalence of dementia patients will reach 152 million in 2050. Unfortunately, there is no treatment available to cure dementia or alter the course of its progression.

Background: Electronic health record (EHR) systems generate large datasets that can significantly enrich the development of medical predictive models. Several attempts have been made to investigate the effect of glycated hemoglobin (HbA) elevation on the prediction of diabetes onset. However, there is still a need for validation of these models using EHR data collected from different populations.
