Implementation of Machine Learning Pipelines for Clinical Practice: Development and Validation Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, such as machine learning and natural language processing, have the potential to provide new insights into complex health data. Although powerful, these algorithms rarely move from experimental studies to direct clinical care implementation. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to describe the key components for successful development and integration of two AI technology-based research pipelines for clinical practice. METHODS: We summarized the approach, results, and key learnings from the implementation of the following two systems implemented at a large, tertiary care children's hospital: (1) epilepsy surgical candidate identification (or epilepsy ID) in an ambulatory neurology clinic; and (2) an automated clinical trial eligibility screener (ACTES) for the real-time identification of patients for research studies in a pediatric emergency department. RESULTS: The epilepsy ID system performed as well as board-certified neurologists in identifying surgical candidates (with a sensitivity of 71% and positive predictive value of 77%). The ACTES system decreased coordinator screening time by 12.9%. The success of each project was largely dependent upon the collaboration between machine learning experts, research and operational information technology professionals, longitudinal support from clinical providers, and institutional leadership. CONCLUSIONS: These projects showcase novel interactions between machine learning recommendations and providers during clinical care. Our deployment provides seamless, real-time integration of AI technology to provide decision support and improve patient care.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
