- Mayo Clinic and Bayesian Health developed an AI solution to identify hospitalized patients in need of palliative care earlier.
- The AI tool is designed to facilitate timely consultations, thus improving care for patients with serious illnesses and reducing non-beneficial readmissions.
- In clinical trials, the tool was shown to increase timely palliative care referrals by 44%, and reduce 60-day and 90-day readmissions by 25% and 28% respectively, also enhancing patient quality of life.
- This collaboration represents a pioneering effort by Mayo Clinic to incorporate AI throughout the care process, aiding teams in identifying and addressing unmet patient needs.
- Bayesian Health’s platform provides real-time clinical intelligence that shifts the care approach from reactive to proactive, especially in palliative care and provides continuous learning from clinician feedback and patient data.
