N2 - The objective of this scoping review was to survey the literature on the use of AI/ML applications in analyzing inpatient EHR data to identify bundles of care (groupings of interventions). If evidence suggested AI/ML models could determine bundles, the review aimed to explore whether implementing these interventions as bundles reduced practice pattern variance and positively impacted patient care outcomes for inpatients with T2DM. Six databases were searched for articles published from January 1, 2000, to January 1, 2024. Nine studies met criteria and were summarized by aims, outcome measures, clinical or practice implications, AI/ML model types, study variables, and AI/ML model outcomes. A variety of AI/ML models were used. Multiple data sources were leveraged to train the models, resulting in varying impacts on practice patterns and outcomes. Studies included aims across 4 thematic areas to address: therapeutic patterns of care, analysis of treatment pathways and their constraints, dashboard development for clinical decision support, and medication optimization and prescription pattern mining. Multiple disparate data sources (i.e., prescription payment data) were leveraged outside of those traditionally available within EHR databases. Notably missing was the use of holistic multidisciplinary data (i.e., nursing and ancillary) to train AI/ML models. AI/ML can assist in identifying the appropriateness of specific interventions to manage diabetic care and support adherence to efficacious treatment pathways if the appropriate data are incorporated into AI/ML design. Additional data sources beyond the EHR are needed to provide more complete data to develop AI/ML models that effectively discern meaningful clinical patterns. Further study is needed to better address nursing care using AI/ML to support effective inpatient diabetes management.
