Welcome to the 2021PCOR-ML-AI wiki!

The goal of this project was to conduct foundational work to support future applications of AI/ML to improve PCOR, health and health care delivery. This project achieved its goal by: • Establishing a kidney disease-related use case that benefits from ML applications using data from the United States Renal Data System (USRDS) • Identifying and convening a multidisciplinary expert panel to provide input into the criteria for the development of high quality training datasets and provisionally testing these datasets using ML algorithms • Developing machine-learning models and using conventional metrics to evaluate their performance • Capturing lessons learned from the process of developing the training datasets and ML models • Disseminating project tools, activities, and points to consider/lessons learned to encourage future applications of these methods by PCOR researchers
