Article Synopsis
  • A study investigates how to use machine learning to predict prescription errors in dosing oral prednisolone, a high-risk drug, due to the common issue of wrong doses causing harm to patients.
  • Data was collected from electronic medical records, analyzed using cluster analysis to group similar prescribing patterns, and different machine learning models were tested to improve accuracy.
  • Results showed that preprocessing the data with the SMOTE method enhanced model performance, with the best results coming from the BRF model (ROC-AUC: 0.917) and SVM after preprocessing (ROC-AUC: 0.820).
