Parkland Hospital Saves $17M With AI-Powered Predictive Model to Prevent In-Hospital Adverse Drug Events -

Parkland Hospital, a Dallas, TX-based hospital and health system has saved over $17 million dollars by reducing their hospital re-admissions and eliminating adverse drug events using a customized artificial intelligence (AI)-driven predictive model. Developed in partnership with affiliate Park Center for Clinical Innovation (PCCI) over the past 2 years, Parkland has been able to prevent more than 2,000 adverse drug events (ADEs) for hospitalized patients. PCCI combines extensive clinical expertise with advanced analytics and artificial intelligence to enable the delivery of patient-centric precision medicine at the point of care. The program, Patients at Risk for Adverse Drug Events (PARADE), is a partnership between PCCI and Parkland Health & Hospital System. PARADE screens all adult patients at the point of hospitalization and flags high-risk individuals who can benefit from pharmacist intervention.
