Keywords:
Primary healthcare system, decision making, algorithms, artificial intelligence, medical diagnosis, personalized treatment, resource allocation, patient monitoring, healthcare technology, health information systems.Abstract
This paper explores the role of algorithms in decision-making within primary healthcare systems. It examines how algorithms can improve the speed and accuracy of diagnoses, create personalized treatment plans, allocate healthcare resources efficiently, and provide continuous patient monitoring. The paper also discusses the benefits and challenges associated with the use of algorithms in healthcare, particularly regarding data quality, security, and the need for continuous updates. The findings suggest that the use of algorithms in primary healthcare systems has significant potential for improving patient outcomes and enhancing healthcare delivery.
