INTRODUCTION: The HEART (Healthcare Enabled by Artificial Intelligence in Real-Time) Project pioneers developing real-time machine learning (ML) predictive analytics to address the need to improve outcomes during recovery from open heart surgery. Our broad objective is to enhance patient outcomes by developing, validating and deploying predictive algorithms into the hands of clinical teams as an early warning and guidance system, allowing care teams an opportunity to be proactive.

Maine Medical Center

Introduction:

• Coronary artery disease (CAD) causes local hypoxia due to reduced blood flow

• Hypoxic conditions are known to induce vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production, a key contributor to angiogenesis

• The purpose of this study was to determine the potential of VEGF as a marker of myocardial stress in subjects with CAD undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery

Problem/Impact Statement:

85% of first cases at Maine Medical Center for Vascular Surgery start late. According to one study done by Aurora Health Care; of 5,500 first case surgeries, 88% of them started late. The impact of this is far reaching. It is not in alignment with MMC value of Patient Centered Care because the patient becomes dissatisfied waiting to be brought in to surgery , they are fasting for longer than anticipated, and being away from their family while they wait causing anxiety. The financial impact is $1995 for each 1⁄2 hr. of O.R. time. Furthermore, this may result …
