arXiv:2512.03296v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Cancer treatment outcomes are influenced not only by clinical and demographic factors but also by the collaboration of healthcare teams. However, prior work has largely overlooked the potential role of human collaboration in shaping patient survival. This paper presents an applied AI approach to uncovering the impact of healthcare professionals' (HCPs) collaboration, captured through electronic health record (EHR) systems, on cancer patient outcomes. We model EHR-mediated HCP interactions as networks and apply machine learning technique
The increasing availability of electronic health records and advancements in AI/machine learning techniques are enabling novel ways to analyze complex healthcare data.
This research provides a framework for quantitatively linking healthcare team dynamics to patient outcomes, which can lead to data-driven improvements in healthcare delivery and potentially optimize resource allocation.
The ability to formally model and predict the impact of human collaboration in healthcare through AI introduces a new dimension to understanding and improving patient care beyond traditional clinical factors.

Healthcare organizations will gain a deeper understanding of which collaborative practices lead to better patient outcomes.
This understanding could lead to the development of AI-powered tools that advise on optimal team structures and communication protocols for specific medical conditions.
Improved team collaboration metrics might become key performance indicators for healthcare professionals, influencing training programs and professional development.
