Published purpose
Due to the lack of available data to train a model to predict which specialty a given referral should consult with, we proposed to work with specialists to digitalize “expert-driven” pathways. Hard-coding these SmartPaths has proved to be a time-consuming and non-scalable solution. The SmartPath builder would fix this, as it will provide specialists with an easy and intuitive interface to create SmartPaths. These SmartPaths can then be used by GPs to be tunnelled into accurate referral, all while keeping the results data clean and organized for future machine learning use.
