Areas of future work

Area of future work Description
Model validation Comprehensive and rigorous module and clinical validation
Medication adherence Adherence rates for prescriptions: medications, care plans (eg, physical exercise) – currently patients always take their medicine
Drug-drug interactions Prescriptions are applied on a module-by-module basis, and these are not adequately deconflicted by any centralized process
Physiological data Modeling organ systems and functions to produce heart rate monitoring streams, etc.
Imaging data Procedures such as X-rays and ultrasounds occur and are recorded, but no synthetic imagery is actually produced
Clinical notes Highly detailed physician notes are not produced
Clinician quality Varying quality of clinicians – currently all clinicians act perfectly according to the modeled standard of care
System capacity Currently there is unlimited care, so restricting access to clinicians, hospital beds, etc.
Claims data Claims and other financial data in addition to the health record
