Predicting Quality Improvement Sustainability with Artificial Neural Networks

FY 2018-19

Summary
Quality improvement programs seek to improve quality of health care by systematically finding solutions to barriers and speeding the adoption of better practices. Unfortunately, evidence suggests that many such programs do not have a long-term impact, and thus waste precious health care resources. My research seeks to identify how healthcare organizations can best support the long-term sustainability of quality improvement programs by employing AI-based techniques to identify patterns in the characteristics of interventions that are sustained vs not sustained across a wide variety of health care settings.
