DESCRIPTION: Title: Beyond Intuition: Transforming Palliative Triage with D
 ata-Driven Decision Systems \n\n  \nAbstract: There is a growing need to d
 eliver palliative care to patients with acute\, advanced care needs in the
  community\, yet often those most in need of care do not receive it. With 
 advances in medicine\, the complexity of patient care needs continues to i
 ncrease\, creating additional tasks for already overstretched healthcare p
 rofessionals who are committed to delivering gold standard care. The data 
 and systems remain dated and siloed resulting in significant additional wo
 rk for healthcare professionals required to build “a complete picture”
  of patient stability to deliver consistent\, standard\, and safe care. Th
 is presents significant challenges globally in terms of accurate\, real-ti
 me patient triaging\, caseload management and the allocation of “the rig
 ht care to the right patient (and their families/carers) at the right time
 .” Cognitive burden is a real issue\, healthcare providers are under pre
 ssure from burnout and as such are struggling to retain experienced staff.
  Our research project\, CommPAL\, aims to use the advanced computational c
 apabilities of AI to address the needs for practical\, fair decision-makin
 g required in palliative care\, setting a precedent for future research an
 d application in the domain. The integration of AI in healthcare has the p
 otential to significantly enhance patient care\, particularly in palliativ
 e care where accurate and timely patient triaging is of paramount importan
 ce. The complexity of medical data and the need for nuanced decision-makin
 g in palliative care present unique challenges. These challenges demand no
 t only a high degree of predictive accuracy from AI but also a level of tr
 ansparency and interpretability that engenders trust among healthcare prov
 iders. \n\n  \nBio: Ciara Heavin is a Professor of Business Information Sy
 stems at Cork University Business School\, University College Cork\, Irela
