AMIA Clinical Informatics Conference 2021 Workshop Real-Time Insights AMIA Clinical Informatics Conference 2021 Workshop Real-time Insights for Optimizing Healthcare Delivery: Translating Evidence into Action May 18 10:30AM - 3:00PM VIRTUAL EVENT With the continued impetus to move from fee-for-service to value-based care, one major challenge health systems are facing is how to best enable real-time insights to enhance provider decision-making to improve care delivery. Recently, impactful use cases have emerged in a number of healthcare delivery scenarios to demonstrate the value of real-time insights; however, while many of the use cases are centered around the use of individualized insights learned from data, there has not been consensus on how best to embed data-driven insights in clinical workflow and how to better enable behavioral changes at the point of care. This workshop will bring healthcare system and informatics leaders together to pinpoint the challenges and opportunities in identifying, creating, implementing and utilizing clinical AI/machine learning solutions, and outline best practices for a successful implementation. The workshop will be structured into three sessions. At the first two sessions, participants will hear from three health system leaders, clinicians, and informatics experts about their experiences with real-time insight solutions (for 15 minutes each), and then they will join a roundtable discussion that will include a Q&A session with the moderator and from the audience/attendees. For the last session, the conversation will focus on the health system user point of view, and engage leading quality and safety experts. At the end of the workshop, attendees will be able to: 1. Identify important use cases in the three key areas where the use of real-time insights could transform practice in healthcare delivery. 2. Define a set of success criteria for how healthcare organizations could use a platform-based approach to incorporate evidence in the everyday clinical decision-making process on the frontline of care delivery and best practices for enabling behavioral change to secure adoption, engagement and trust. 3. Identify pathways to incorporate the use of real-time insights in healthcare organizations.

At the same time, medical time-series problems in the wild are challenging due to their highly composite nature: They entail design choices and interactions among components that preprocess data, impute missing values, select features, issue predictions, estimate uncertainty, and interpret models. Despite exponential growth in electronic patient data, there is a remarkable gap between the potential and realized utilization of ML for clinical research and decision support. In particular, orchestrating a real-world project lifecycle poses challenges in engi- neering (i.e. hard to build), evaluation (i.e. hard to assess), and efficiency (i.e. hard to optimize). Designed to address these issues simultaneously, Clairvoyance pro- poses a unified, end-to-end, autoML-friendly pipeline that serves as a (i) software toolkit, (ii) empirical standard, and (iii) interface for optimization.

  • Top 100 AI Leaders in Drug Discovery and Advanced Healthcare Introduction
    Top 100 AI Leaders in Drug Discovery and Advanced Healthcare www.dka.global Introduction Over the last several years, the pharmaceutical and healthcare organizations have developed a strong interest toward applying artificial intelligence (AI) in various areas, ranging from medical image analysis and elaboration of electronic health records (EHRs) to more basic research like building disease ontologies, preclinical drug discovery, and clinical trials. The demand for the ML/AI technologies, as well as for ML/AI talent, is growing in pharmaceutical and healthcare industries and driving the formation of a new interdisciplinary industry (‘data-driven healthcare’). Consequently, there is a growing number of AI-driven startups and emerging companies offering technology solutions for drug discovery and healthcare. Another important source of advanced expertise in AI for drug discovery and healthcare comes from top technology corporations (Google, Microsoft, Tencent, etc), which are increasingly focusing on applying their technological resources for tackling health-related challenges, or providing technology platforms on rent bases for conducting research analytics by life science professionals. Some of the leading pharmaceutical giants, like GSK, AstraZeneca, Pfizer and Novartis, are already making steps towards aligning their internal research workflows and development strategies to start embracing AI-driven digital transformation at scale. However, the pharmaceutical industry at large is still lagging behind in adopting AI, compared to more traditional consumer industries -- finance, retail etc. The above three main forces are driving the growth in the AI implementation in pharmaceutical and advanced healthcare research, but the overall success depends strongly on the availability of highly skilled interdisciplinary leaders, able to innovate, organize and guide in this direction.

  • Suchi Saria, Phd Assistant Professor of Computer Science, Statistics, and Health Policy, Johns Hopkins University
    Biostatistics Seminars Winter 2017 Suchi Saria, PhD Assistant Professor of Computer Science, Statistics, and Health Policy, Johns Hopkins University Scalable Joint Models for Reliable Event Prediction: Application to Monitoring Adverse Events using Electronic Health Record Data Tuesday, 7 February 2017 3:30 pm – 4:30 pm - Purvis Hall, 1020 Pine Ave. West, Room 24 ALL ARE WELCOME Abstract: Many life-threatening adverse events such as sepsis and cardiac arrest are treatable if detected early. Towards this, one can leverage the vast number of longitudinal signals---e.g., repeated heart rate, respiratory rate, blood cell counts, creatinine measurements---that are already recorded by clinicians to track an individual's health. Motivated by this problem, we propose a reliable event prediction framework comprising two key innovations. First, we extend existing state-of-the-art in joint-modeling to tackle settings with large-scale, (potentially) correlated, high-dimensional multivariate longitudinal data. For this, we propose a flexible Bayesian nonparametric joint model along with scalable stochastic variational inference techniques for estimation. Second, we use a decision-theoretic approach to derive an optimal detector that trades-off the cost of delaying correct adverse-event detections against making incorrect assessments. On a challenging clinical dataset on patients admitted to an Intensive Care Unit, we see significant gains in early event-detection performance over state-of-the-art techniques. Bio: Suchi Saria is an assistant professor of computer science, (bio)statistics, and health policy at Johns Hopkins University. Her research interests are in statistical machine learning and "precision" healthcare. Specifically, her focus is in designing novel data-driven computing tools for optimizing care delivery.

  • Reliable Decision Support Using Counterfactual Models
    Reliable Decision Support using Counterfactual Models Peter Schulam Suchi Saria Department of Computer Science Department of Computer Science Johns Hopkins University Johns Hopkins University Baltimore, MD 21211 Baltimore, MD 21211 [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Decision-makers are faced with the challenge of estimating what is likely to happen when they take an action. For instance, if I choose not to treat this patient, are they likely to die? Practitioners commonly use supervised learning algorithms to fit predictive models that help decision-makers reason about likely future outcomes, but we show that this approach is unreliable, and sometimes even dangerous. The key issue is that supervised learning algorithms are highly sensitive to the policy used to choose actions in the training data, which causes the model to capture relationships that do not generalize. We propose using a different learning objective that predicts counterfactuals instead of predicting outcomes under an existing action policy as in supervised learning. To support decision-making in temporal settings, we introduce the Counterfactual Gaussian Process (CGP) to predict the counterfactual future progression of continuous-time trajectories under sequences of future actions. We demonstrate the benefits of the CGP on two important decision-support tasks: risk prediction and “what if?” reasoning for individualized treatment planning. 1 Introduction Decision-makers are faced with the challenge of estimating what is likely to happen when they take an action. One use of such an estimate is to evaluate risk; e.g. is this patient likely to die if I do not intervene? Another use is to perform “what if?” reasoning by comparing outcomes under alternative actions; e.g.

  • Towards AI-Assisted Healthcare: System Design and Deployment for Machine Learning Based Clinical Decision Support Andong Zhan
    Towards AI-assisted Healthcare: System Design and Deployment for Machine Learning based Clinical Decision Support by Andong Zhan A dissertation submitted to The Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Baltimore, Maryland March, 2018 c Andong Zhan 2018 All rights reserved Abstract Over the last decade, American hospitals have adopted electronic health records (EHRs) widely. In the next decade, incorporating EHRs with clinical decision sup- port (CDS) together into the process of medicine has the potential to change the way medicine has been practiced and advance the quality of patient care. It is a unique opportunity for machine learning (ML), with its ability to process massive datasets beyond the scope of human capability, to provide new clinical insights that aid physicians in planning and delivering care, ultimately leading to better outcomes, lower costs of care, and increased patient satisfaction. However, applying ML-based CDS has to face steep system and application challenges. No open platform is there to support ML and domain experts to develop, deploy, and monitor ML-based CDS; and no end-to-end solution is available for machine learning algorithms to consume heterogenous EHRs and deliver CDS in real-time. Build ML-based CDS from scratch can be expensive and time-consuming. In this dissertation, CDS-Stack, an open cloud-based platform, is introduced to help ML practitioners to deploy ML-based CDS into healthcare practice. The CDS- ii ABSTRACT Stack integrates various components into the infrastructure for the development, deployment, and monitoring of the ML-based CDS. It provides an ETL engine to transform heterogenous EHRs, either historical or online, into a common data model (CDM) in parallel so that ML algorithms can directly consume health data for train- ing or prediction.
