RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT: MILOS HAUSKRECHT, ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR
Associate Professor Milos Hauskrecht is awarded two grants through the National Institutes of Health (NIH): Detecting Deviations in Clinical Care in ICU data Streams and Using Medical Records Repositories to Improve the Alert System Design.
Detecting Deviations in Clinical Care in ICU data Streams
Professor Milos Hauskrecht with colaborator Professor Gilles Clermont in the Department of Critical Care has received $1,521,570 for a 3-year grant from the National Institute of General Medical Studies (NIH) to study computational methods for detecting deviations in clinical care in intensive care unit (ICU) data.
Using Medical Records Repositories to Improve the Alert System Design
Professor Milos Hauskrecht was awarded a $1,137,679, 3-year grant from the National Library of Medicine (NIH) to develop and study a new computational framework from off-line evaluation and optimization of clinical alerting systems based on retrospective electronic health record data.
Timely detection of severe patient conditions or concerning events and their mitigation remains an important problem in clinical practice. This project uses past patient data, which is stored in electronic form, and machine-learning methods to help develop and refine computer-based alerts to improve healthcare quality and reduce costs.
