Louisiana’s largest health system, Ochsner Health System, used advanced machine learning algorithms to create a predictive model leveraging Epic’s machine learning platform powered by Microsoft Azure to accurately predict patient deterioration hours before an adverse event. This early warning system was tightly integrated into Epic, enabling Ochsner’s Rapid Response team to intervene on patients proactively, rather than reactively. During their 90-day pilot at Ochsner Medical Center, the team successfully reduced codes outside of the ICU by 44%.
