This is how most ML in healthcare is used. It's a fantasy to think we can give all patients equal attention, so it often makes sense to prioritize those most at risk. Of course no model is perfect, but ML can be very beneficial when used in the right context (i.e. not like United Healthcare).

Not really. It allows you to order your cases from most-likely to least-likely, and get human eyeballs on the most-likely cases first.

Yup. The word I should have used is "triage".
