Description
Summary:Background The COVID-19 pandemic has led many individuals to miss essential care. Machine-learning models that predict which patients are at greatest risk of missing care visits can help health administrators prioritize retentions efforts towards patients with the most need. Such approaches may be especially useful for efficiently targeting interventions for health systems overburdened by the COVID-19 pandemic.
