According to the National Academies of Science, Engineering-diagnostic mistakes lead to roughly 10% of patient fatalities and 6 to 17% of hospital problems. It's crucial to remember that diagnostic errors aren't always caused by poor physician performance. Diagnostic mistakes, according to experts, are caused by a number of causes, including: • Collaboration and integration of health information technology are inefficient (Health IT) • Communication breakdowns between physicians, patients, and their families • A healthcare work system that is designed to be insufficiently supportive of diagnostic procedures. LITERATURE REVIEW Machine learning is being increasingly and frequently utilized in the healthcare field in various ways, like automating medical billing, clinical decision support, and establishing clinical care standards. Friedman, C., & Elhadad, N. (2014) et al. There are several significant applications of machine learning and healthcare ideas in medicine. The first medical machine learning system to diagnose acute toxicities in patients getting radiation treatment for head and neck malignancies has been created by researchers. In radiology, deep learning in healthcare automatically detects complicated patterns and assists radiologists in making informed judgments when analyzing pictures such as traditional radiography, CT, MRI, PET scans, and radiology reports. Machine learning-based automated detection and diagnostic systems have been demonstrated to perform as well as an expert radiologist. Google is creating a machine learning platform to identify breast cancer from images. These are only a handful of the numerous applications of machine learning in healthcare Jack Jr, C(2013) et.al. Natural Language Processing Nearly 80% of the information kept or "locked" in electronic health record systems is unstructured healthcare data for machine learning. These are papers or text files, not data components that could not previously be evaluated without a human viewing the information. Unfortunately, human language, often known as "natural language," is extremely complicated, lacks consistency, and contains many ambiguities, jargon, and vagueness. Therefore, machine learning in healthcare frequently uses natural language processing (NLP) tools to transform these papers into more usable and analyzable data.
