Earlier this year, the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Artificial Intelligence (AI) Health Outcomes Challenge attracted 330 teams across the nation to develop AI solutions to predict unplanned hospital admissions, skilled nursing facility admissions and adverse events. A team from UD’s Institute of Financial Services Analytics led by Xiao Fang, professor of management information systems (MIS) and JPMC Senior Fellow, and members of the Jefferson Health Data Science group was placed among the top seven in the nation.

Fang’s team was responsible for designing and implementing the core deep learning algorithms of the proposed solution.
