Hospital quality classification based on quality indicator data during the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstrak

This research aim is to propose a machine learning approach to automatically evaluate or categories hospital quality status using quality indicator data. This research was divided into six stages: data collection, pre-processing, feature engineering, data training, data testing, and evaluation. In 2020, we collected 5,542 data values for quality indicators from 658 Indonesian hospitals. However, we analyzed data from only 275 hospitals due to inadequate submission. We employed methods of machine learning such as decision tree (DT), gaussian naïve Bayes (GNB), logistic regression (LR), k-nearest neighbors (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and neural network (NN) for research archive purposes. Logistic regression achieved a 70% accuracy rate, SVM a 68% accuracy rate, and neural network a 59.34% of accuracy. Moreover, K-nearest neighbors achieved a 54% of accuracy and decision tree a 41% accuracy. Gaussian-NB achieved a 32% accuracy rate. The linear discriminant analysis achieved the highest accuracy with 71%. It can be concluded that linear discriminant analysis is the algorithm suitable for hospital quality data in this research.
