Abstract

Optimal management of resources will be founda- tional to future health systems designing around 6G technology. The combination of ultra-reliable, very low-latency connectivity with autonomous AI-based decision-making will automate many of the operational aspects of healthcare delivery. The research presented here establishes a total machine learning framework that can implement various regression analysis techniques and ensemble models to predict Resource Utilization Efficiency (RUE). We constructed a diverse dataset from clinical, operational, and telecommunications-based variables and utilized multiple data preprocessing techniques (imputation, encoding, scaling, and outlier correcting) to optimize the training of our six benchmarked regression analyses: Linear Regression, Random Forest, Gradient Boost, XGBoost, Support Vector Regression, and K-Nearest Neighbors. Results demonstrated that tree-based models achieved the highest predictive accuracy, with Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, and XGBoost consistently outperforming linear and kernel-based approaches. To further enhance performance, ensemble learning methods (averaging, blending, and stacking) were employed, with stacking ensembles delivering the best overall results (MSE = 1.86 × 10−5, R2 = 0.9998). To produce robust models through hyperparameter tuning with GridSearchCV and Bayesian optimization; the SHAP analysis method was conducted to provide interpretation to the decision process, revealing that Network Performance (speed), Length Of Stay and Health Status were the most significant variables in predicting RUE. Promoting predictiveness while maintaining transparency provides a concrete, interpretable decision support tool for healthcare decision-makers. With the proposed framework, intelligent; sustainable and explainable; 6G supported Healthcare Management may continue to expand to include federated learning; real-time implementation; and multi-modal data.

Abstract

Verimli kaynak yönetimi, özellikle ultra güvenilir, düşük gecikmeli bağlantı ve yapay zeka odaklı karar almanın klinik operasyonları dönüştürmesi beklenen 6G etkin ortamlarda, yeni nesil sağlık sistemlerinin temel taşıdır. Bu çalışma, gelişmiş regresyon modelleri, topluluk stratejileri ve açıklanabilir yapay zeka tekniklerini entegre ederek Kaynak Kullanım Verimliliğini (RUE) tahmin etmek için kapsamlı bir makine öğrenimi çerçevesi sunmaktadır. Klinik, operasyonel ve ağ ile ilgili değişkenlerden oluşan çeşitli bir veri kümesi, sağlam model eğitimi sağlamak için yükleme, kodlama, ölçekleme ve aykırı değer işleme yoluyla ön işleme tabi tutulmuştur. Altı regresyon algoritması; Doğrusal Regresyon, Rastgele Orman, Gradient Boosting, XGBoost, Destek Vektörü Regresyonu ve K-En Yakın Komşular sistematik olarak kıyaslanmıştır. Sonuçlar, ağaç tabanlı modellerin en yüksek tahmin doğruluğunu elde ettiğini; Rastgele Orman, Gradient Boosting ve XGBoost'un doğrusal ve çekirdek tabanlı yaklaşımlardan sürekli olarak daha iyi performans gösterdiğini göstermiştir. Performansı daha da artırmak için, en iyi genel sonuçları (MSE = 1,86x10^-5, R^2 = 0,9998) veren yığın öğrenme yöntemleri (ortalama alma, karıştırma ve istifleme) kullanıldı. GridSearchCV ve Bayes optimizasyonu aracılığıyla hiperparametre ayarı, model sağlamlığını iyileştirdi. Yorumlanabilirliği sağlamak için SHAP analizi uygulandı ve Ağ Hızı, Kalış Süresi ve Sağlık Durumunun RUE tahminlerini yönlendiren en etkili faktörler olduğunu ortaya koydu. Tahmini performansı şeffaflıkla birleştirerek, bu çalışma sağlık yöneticileri için güvenilir ve yorumlanabilir bir karar destek aracı sağlamaktadır. Önerilen çerçeve, federasyonlu öğrenme, gerçek zamanlı dağıtım ve çok modlu veri entegrasyonu gibi potansiyel uzantılarla akıllı, sürdürülebilir ve açıklanabilir 6G özellikli sağlık yönetimine giden yolu açmaktadır.

Reviewer Process Information

BAJECE employs a single-blind peer review process to ensure scientific quality, fairness, and transparency. In this review model, reviewers are able to see the authors’ names and affiliations, while authors do not have access to the reviewers’ identities. This approach allows reviewers to provide objective, detailed, and constructive feedback while maintaining their anonymity.

All submitted manuscripts are first evaluated by the Editorial Board for relevance, structure, and adherence to journal guidelines. Papers that meet the initial criteria are then assigned to at least two independent reviewers who are experts in the related research area. Reviewers assess manuscripts based on originality, technical accuracy, clarity, methodology, and scientific contribution.

Authors are required to revise their papers according to reviewers’ comments and suggestions within the given time frame. The final publication decision—acceptance, revision, or rejection—is made by the Editor-in-Chief after considering the reviewers’ recommendations and the scientific merit of the manuscript.

This single-blind review process ensures impartial evaluation, promotes academic integrity, and supports high-quality scientific publication standards in BAJECE.

Papers must be submitted on the understanding that they have not been published elsewhere and are not currently under consideration by another journal.

Reviewer Process Information

BAJECE employs a single-blind peer review process to ensure scientific quality, fairness, and transparency. In this review model, reviewers are able to see the authors’ names and affiliations, while authors do not have access to the reviewers’ identities. This approach allows reviewers to provide objective, detailed, and constructive feedback while maintaining their anonymity.

All submitted manuscripts are first evaluated by the Editorial Board for relevance, structure, and adherence to journal guidelines. Papers that meet the initial criteria are then assigned to at least two independent reviewers who are experts in the related research area. Reviewers assess manuscripts based on originality, technical accuracy, clarity, methodology, and scientific contribution.

Authors are required to revise their papers according to reviewers’ comments and suggestions within the given time frame. The final publication decision—acceptance, revision, or rejection—is made by the Editor-in-Chief after considering the reviewers’ recommendations and the scientific merit of the manuscript.

This single-blind review process ensures impartial evaluation, promotes academic integrity, and supports high-quality scientific publication standards in BAJECE.
