Maturity Framework for Operationalizing Machine Learning Applications in Health Care: Scoping Review

We investigated the implementation of MLOps in health care with a corresponding maturity framework. It is evident that only a limited number of studies reported the implementation of ML in health care contexts. Hence, it is imperative that we shift our focus toward creating an environment that supports the development of ML health care applications, such as improving existing data infrastructure, and engaging partners to support the development of MLOps applications. Specifically, we can include patients, policymakers, and health care professionals in the creation and implementation of ML applications. One of the main limitations includes the varying quality of each extracted study in terms of how the MLOps implementation was presented. Hence, it was difficult to verify the presence and discuss in depth all steps of the MLOps workflow for each study. Furthermore, due to the inherent nature of a scoping review protocol, there may be a compromise on an in-depth discussion of each step within the MLOps workflow.
