Peoria, Ill.-based OSF HealthCare has partnered with venture builder High Alpha Innovation and Alpine Health Systems to launch an AI-based discharge platform that can identify patients who may be at risk of longer hospital stays.
OSF HealthCare and its innovation arm OSF Innovation helped develop the tool, dubbed Alpine, which uses machine learning and natural language processing to identify patient risk factors prior to discharge, according to a Jan. 31 release from Alpine.
The aim of the platform is to help case managers pick out which patients may have complex cases, as well as create a more efficient discharge system for health systems.
