# Acknowledge an alert
alert_system.acknowledge_alert(alert['alert_id'], notes='Supplemental O2 applied')

# Get alert summary
summary = alert_system.get_alert_summary()
print(f"Total alerts (24h): {summary['last_24h']}")
print(f"By severity: {summary['by_severity']}")

Critical Thresholds:

Integration Guide

Integration with Phase 2 Database

from database import get_connection
from ml_predictive import PatientOutcomePredictor
from ml_anomaly_detection import CriticalDeviationAlertSystem

# Load patient data from database
with get_connection() as conn:
    cursor = conn.cursor()

## Phase 3.5: Generative AI (Hugging Face)

**File**: `scripts/train_nursing_llm.ipynb`  
**Purpose**: Fine-tune Large Language Models (LLMs) like Llama-3 or Mistral to perform SBAR summarization on clinical transcripts.

### Overview
Due to hardware constraints (lack of local GPU), training is offloaded to cloud environments like Google Colab using QLoRA (Quantized Low-Rank Adapters).

### Workflow

1.  **Upload Dataset**:
    Use `scripts/upload_dataset.py` to push your local JSONL dataset to the Hugging Face Hub.
    ```bash
    python scripts/upload_dataset.py --repo "your-username/nursing-sbar-instruct" --token "hf_..."
    ```

2.  **Fine-Tune on Colab**:
    Upload `scripts/train_nursing_llm.ipynb` to Google Colab.
    - **Base Model**: `unsloth/llama-3-8b-bnb-4bit` (Medical-grade reasoning)
    - **Technique**: QLoRA (4-bit quantization)
    - **Compute**: Free Tesla T4 GPU
    - **Output**: An adapter model (`adapter_model.bin`) merged and pushed back to your HF profile.

3.  **Inference**:
    Once trained, the model can generate SBAR summaries from nurse-patient transcripts.
    ```python
    # Example Inference Input
    prompt = """Transcript: Patient complains of chest pain...
    <|assistant|>"""
    
    # Example Output
    # Situation: Patient experiencing chest pain...
    # ...
    ```

    patient_rows = cursor.fetchall()

# Convert to DataFrame
import pandas as pd
patient_df = pd.DataFrame(patient_rows, columns=[
    'patient_id', 'age', 'comorbidities', 'previous_readmissions'
])

# Make predictions
predictor = PatientOutcomePredictor()
predictions = predictor.predict_readmission_risk(patient_df)

# Store predictions back in database
with get_connection() as conn:
    cursor = conn.cursor()
    
    for _, row in predictions.iterrows():
        cursor.execute("""
            INSERT INTO ml_predictions (patient_id, prediction_type, score, timestamp)
            VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s)
        """, (row['patient_id'], 'readmission_30d', row['risk_score'], row['prediction_timestamp']))
    
    conn.commit()

Integration with Phase 2 Analytics

    analytics.display_usage_dashboard()

with col2:
    st.subheader("ML Predictions")
    st.plotly_chart(ml_trends.plot_risk_distribution(predictions_df))

for patient_id in patient_list:
    alert = alert_system.evaluate_critical_deviation(
        patient_id,
        'oxygen_saturation',
        current_vitals['oxygen_saturation']
    )
    
    if alert and alert['severity'] == 'critical':
        # Create FHIR Observation
        fhir_builder = FHIRResourceBuilder()
        
        observation = fhir_builder.build_observation(
            patient_id=patient_id,
            code='3150-0',  # Oxygen saturation code
            value=alert['value'],
            unit='%',
            reference_range=(92, 100)
        )
        
        # Send to EHR

Troubleshooting

Issue: Models won't train

Error: ValueError: Shape of passed values is (100, 5), indices imply (100, 4)

Solution:

# Verify feature shapes
print(f"X shape: {X.shape}")
print(f"y shape: {y.shape}")

# Ensure consistent columns
X = X.dropna()
y = y[X.index]

# Check for missing values
print(f"Missing in X: {X.isna().sum().sum()}")

Issue: Predictions are all zeros or ones

Error: Model predicting single class only

Solution:

# Check class balance
print(y.value_counts())

# Use balanced class weights
model = RandomForestClassifier(class_weight='balanced')

# Consider oversampling minority class
from sklearn.utils import resample

Issue: Anomaly detection too sensitive

Solution:

# Adjust Z-score threshold
z_anomalies = detector.z_score_detection(vital_ts, threshold=4.0)  # Default 3.0

# Use larger window for rolling statistics
z_anomalies = detector.z_score_detection(vital_ts, window=30)  # Default 20

Issue: Dashboard not loading

Error: StreamlitAPIException: It looks like you are calling Streamlit commands without running Streamlit

Solution:

# Run with Streamlit
streamlit run ml_dashboards.py

# Not with python
python ml_dashboards.py  # ❌ Wrong

Issue: SHAP values not computing

Solution:

# Install SHAP
pip install shap

# Import properly
from ml_dashboards import ModelExplainabilityDashboard

# Use simpler feature importance if SHAP unavailable
importance = model.get_feature_importance()

Advanced Configuration

Custom Intervention Database

from ml_recommendations import InterventionRecommender

# Extend intervention database
InterventionRecommender.INTERVENTION_DATABASE['custom_condition'] = {
    'interventions': [
        {'name': 'Custom intervention 1', 'priority': 'high'},
        {'name': 'Custom intervention 2', 'priority': 'medium'}
    ],
    'monitoring': 'Custom monitoring plan'
}

Custom Alert Thresholds

from ml_anomaly_detection import CriticalDeviationAlertSystem

# Override critical thresholds
alert_system.ALERT_THRESHOLDS['heart_rate'] = {
    'critical_low': 35,  # Lowered from 40
    'critical_high': 140,  # Raised from 130
    'critical_change': 50  # Raised from 40
}

Model-Specific Configuration

from ml_predictive import PredictiveModel

# Custom model parameters
model = PredictiveModel('custom', model_type='random_forest')
model.model.set_params(
    n_estimators=200,
    max_depth=20,
    min_samples_leaf=3
)

Deployment Checklist

• Install all ML dependencies
• Train models on production data
• Validate model accuracy (>85% ROC-AUC)
• Test anomaly detection with real vital signs
• Verify alert system acknowledgment workflow
• Deploy dashboards to Streamlit Cloud/On-Premise
• Configure database integration
• Set up model monitoring and drift detection
• Enable alert notifications (email/SMS)
• Create runbooks for alert escalation
• Train staff on dashboard usage
• Schedule regular model retraining (monthly)

Performance Optimization

Model Training

# Use GPU if available
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier

model = RandomForestClassifier(n_jobs=-1)  # Use all CPUs

# Reduce n_estimators for faster training
model = RandomForestClassifier(n_estimators=50)  # Default 100

Prediction Batching

# Batch predictions instead of one-by-one
predictions = model.predict_proba(X_batch)  # Fast
# vs.
for patient in patients:
    model.predict(patient.values.reshape(1, -1))  # Slow

Threshold Caching

# Cache calibrated thresholds
@lru_cache(maxsize=1000)
def get_cached_thresholds(patient_id):
    return calibrator.get_patient_thresholds(patient_id)

Monitoring & Maintenance

Model Performance Monitoring

# Monthly retraining
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

def should_retrain():
    last_train = get_last_training_date()
    return datetime.now() - last_train > timedelta(days=30)

if should_retrain():
    new_data = load_recent_data(days=30)
    model.train(new_data)
    save_model(model)

Alert Volume Monitoring

# Track alert volumes for alert fatigue prevention
summary = alert_system.get_alert_summary()

if summary['last_24h'] > alert_threshold:
    logger.warning(f"High alert volume: {summary['last_24h']} in 24h")
    # Consider threshold adjustment

Drift Detection

drift = evaluator.get_model_drift()

if drift['drifting']:
    logger.error(f"Model drift detected: {drift['accuracy_drift']:.3f}")
    # Trigger model retraining or alert
