Using AI to predict hospital costs in real time

In many health systems around the world, running a hospital is a knife-edge balancing act. On one side are the doctors and nurses providing urgent, even critical care to patients. Their job is to do all they can. On the other side are the hospital administrators making sure there are enough resources – medicines, equipment, beds, staff – to cope. Their job is to ensure spending on patient care stays efficient so that the hospital can stay open.
