From the results of the 2020 Flemish survey looking into psychiatric patients' views of the in-patient care they have received, it appeared that hospital communication is experienced as not sufficiently patient-centered. In communication research, the quality of written patient materials in physical healthcare has been scrutinized and suggestions for the enhancement of their patient-centeredness, comprehensibility, and actionability have been made. Yet, a similar research interest in the quality of health communication in mental healthcare has failed to materialize. ⋯ Together, hospitals and patient organizations, should remedy this situation and thus fortify the public's trust in the evidence-based and high-quality patient-centered care psychiatric hospitals offer.

Medical diagnosis plays a critical role in our daily lives. Every day, over 10 billion cases of both mental and physical health disorders are diagnosed and reported worldwide. To diagnose these disorders, medical practitioners and health professionals employ various assessment tools. However, these tools often face scrutiny due to their complexity, prompting researchers to increase their experimental parameters to provide accurate justifications. Additionally, it is essential for professionals to properly justify, interpret, and analyse the results from these prediction tools. ⋯ Consequently, medical professionals are increasingly relying on these machine learning-based CDSS models, utilising these tools to improve medical diagnosis and assist in decision-making. The different cross-validation values are considered to remove the data biasness.
