BACKGROUND: Patient portals are consumer health applications that allow patients
to view their health information. Portals facilitate the interactions between
patients and their caregivers by offering secure messaging. Patients communicate
different needs through portal messages. Medical needs contain requests for
delivery of care (e.g. reporting new symptoms). Automating the classification of
medical decision complexity in portal messages has not been investigated.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We trained two multiclass classifiers, multinomial Naïve
Bayes and random forest on 500 message threads, to quantify and label the
complexity of decision-making into four classes: no decision, straightforward,
low, and moderate. We compared the performance of the models to using only the
number of medical terms without training a machine learning model. RESULTS: Our
analysis demonstrated that machine learning models have better performance than
the model that did not use machine learning. Moreover, machine learning models
could quantify the complexity of decision-making that the messages contained with
0.59, 0.45, and 0.58 for macro, micro, and weighted precision and 0.63,0.41, and
0.63 for macro, micro, and weighted recall. CONCLUSIONS: This study is one of the
first to attempt to classify patient portal messages by whether they involve
medical decision-making and the complexity of that decision-making. Machine
learning classifiers trained on message content resulted in better message thread
classification than classifiers that employed medical terms in the messages
alone.
