Predictive and prescriptive promise

With the promise of improving outcomes and cutting costs, artificial intelligence is getting plenty of attention from numerous health care companies. Nashville players are no different and a number of groundbreaking AI projects are underway here.

One of those is a prescriptive analytics solution that offers bedside treatment recommendations for clinicians in the behavioral health field. The program, developed by Raiven Healthcare in partnership with local consulting firm SwitchPoint Ventures, works as a collaborative database of clinician annotation and deidentified historical patient data. And while predictive analytics solutions have been making headway for a while, Raiven and SwitchPoint are taking it a step past the predictive stage and using artificial intelligence to create a prescriptive model.
