Description

Shamir Mukhi and co-authors test machine learning to code injury reports in a Canadian hospital system, in a study from 2025. The system has tracked injuries seen in emergency rooms since 1990 and holds millions of records. Staff have long coded the free-text accounts by hand, which is slow and delays findings.

The project built and judged models that assign codes on their own as a first step toward live use. Faster coding would let health teams spot risks sooner and shape prevention work with fresher data. The authors frame the work as a path of steady improvement rather than a one-time fix, with human review still in the loop.
