The readmission prediction model had just failed. Again.</p> <p>Development environment: 89% accuracy. Model correctly predicted which patients would be readmitted within 30 days. Feature importance made sense.

The company had placed a big bet on AI reducing hospital readmissions, which cost them $340 million annually. The models could predict which patients were likely to be readmitted within 30 days and trigger early interventions. When it worked, it saved lives and money.</p>
