Evaluation of a machine learning capability for a clinical decision support system to enhance antimicrobial stewardship programs

作者:

Highlights:

• We used a supervised learning module to discover expert rules for a clinical decision support system to enhance antimicrobial stewardship programs.

• The learning module was deployed alongside the baseline system to evaluate its ability to discover rules that complement the existing rule set.

• Alerts from learned rules had a rate of intervention equal to that of the baseline system.

• The learning module extracted clinically relevant rules, some of which extend the knowledge base of the baseline system.
