Hospital capacity management depends on accurate real-time estimates of hospital-wide discharges. Estimation by a clinician requires an excessively large amount of effort and, even when attempted, accuracy in forecasting next-day patient-level discharge is poor. This study aims to support next-day discharge predictions with machine learning by incorporating electronic health record (EHR) audit log data, a resource that captures EHR users' granular interactions with patients' records by communicating various semantics and has been neglected in outcome predictions.
