Summary
The goal of this study was to identify machine learning (ML) tools in hospital settings and how they were implemented to inform decision-making for patient care through a scoping review. They found limited evidence related to the implementation of ML tools to assist clinicians with patient healthcare decisions in hospital settings. Future research should examine other approaches to integrating ML into hospital clinician decisions related to patient care, and report on PROGRESS-PLUS items.
