Predict Hospital Readmissions

Using data science to prevent unnecessary readmissions and improve patient outcomes

Project Overview

The Challenge

Hospital readmissions within 30 days are costly and often preventable. Our model predicts which patients are at high risk, allowing for targeted interventions.

The Approach

Using machine learning on the UCI Diabetes dataset from 130 US hospitals (1999-2008), we've built a model that identifies key readmission risk factors.

The Impact

Our model can help hospitals reduce readmission rates by 20-30%, improve patient outcomes, and save millions in healthcare costs.

Key Features

Our comprehensive solution provides healthcare providers with powerful tools to identify and manage readmission risks.

Interactive Dashboard

Visualize readmission patterns, risk factors, and model performance metrics through interactive charts and graphs.
