Machine Learning Algorithms for the prediction of the in-patients satisfaction

The health industry is a competitive and lucrative industry that has attracted many investors. Therefore, hospitals must create competitive advantages to stay in the competitive market. Patient satisfaction with the services provided in hospitals is one of the most basic competitive advantages of this industry. Therefore, identifying and analyzing the factors affecting the increase of patient satisfaction is an undeniable necessity that has been addressed in this study.

Because patient satisfaction characteristics used in hospitals may have a hidden relationship with each other, data mining approaches and tools to analyze patient satisfaction according to the questionnaire used We used the hospital. After preparing the data, the characteristics mentioned in the questionnaire for patients, classification models were applied to the collected and cleared data, and with the feature selection methods, effective characteristics Patients were identified and analyzed for satisfaction or dissatisfaction.

Based on the findings of the present study, it can be concluded that the factors of patient mentality of the physician's expertise and skill, appropriate and patient behavior of the physician and food quality (hoteling) respectively have a higher chance of increasing patient satisfaction with Establish services provided in the hospital.

Comparing the approach used in this study with other studies showed that due to the hidden effects of variables on each other and the relatively large number of variables studied, one of the best options for analyzing patient satisfaction questionnaire data, Use of data mining tools and approaches
