Investigation of Effective Classification Method for Online Health Service Recommendation System

Hospital Recommendation Services have been gaining popularity these days. There are many applications and systems that are recommending hospitals based on the user’s requirements and to meet the patient satisfaction. These applications take the reviews of the patients and the users and based on these reviews, they recommend the hospitals. Also if a person is new to the location that he is currently residing, when the speciality is given as input by him, then these applications recommend the hospitals. But the problem is that everyone is not aware of the medical terms like specialities. For those people, “Health Service Recommendation System” comes handy. “Health Service Recommendation System” is an Android Application for finding hospitals within a specified range of distance and requirements provided by the client using the Naïve Bayes classification algorithm. Naïve Bayes algorithm classifies the speciality and thus helps in achieving the maximum accuracy compared to the other algorithms used. This application is helpful even for the people who are not aware of the specialities of the hospitals

Simulating a multi-level priority triage system for Maternity Emergency

Nowadays Decision Support Systems are increasingly used in order to help health professionals. An example of this application is the implementation of a triage system in hospital emergency. These systems allow more effective and rapid decisions taking into account the clinical needs of patients. In Centro Materno Infantil do Norte it was implemented an intelligent system of pre-triage which aims to prioritize the patients on two levels: Urgent (URG) and (ARGO). However, although specific for obstetrics and gynecology cases, the system does not meet all clinical requirements. Thus using a simulation algorithm developed within this framework, it was intended to simulate a specific priority triage system for gynecology and obstetrics but with five levels of acuity as suggested by the Portuguese general department of Health (Direção Geral de Saúde). For this study the repository of specific pre-triage system was used to test the algorithm. After application, it was found that the implementation of this system in Centro Materno Infantil do Norte will reduce waiting time, allowing a uniform distribution according to the waiting time and the clinical features. The percentage of deviation between the waiting time and the actual time obtained by simulation algorithm is approximately 121.6%(undefined

Health systems data interoperability and implementation

Objective The objective of this study was to use machine learning and health standards to address the problem of clinical data interoperability across healthcare institutions. Addressing this problem has the potential to make clinical data comparable, searchable and exchangeable between healthcare providers. Data sources Structured and unstructured data has been used to conduct the experiments in this study. The data was collected from two disparate data sources namely MIMIC-III and NHanes. The MIMIC-III database stored data from two electronic health record systems which are CareVue and MetaVision. The data stored in these systems was not recorded with the same standards; therefore, it was not comparable because some values were conflicting, while one system would store an abbreviation of a clinical concept, the other would store the full concept name and some of the attributes contained missing information. These few issues that have been identified make this form of data a good candidate for this study. From the identified data sources, laboratory, physical examination, vital signs, and behavioural data were used for this study. Methods This research employed a CRISP-DM framework as a guideline for all the stages of data mining. Two sets of classification experiments were conducted, one for the classification of structured data, and the other for unstructured data. For the first experiment, Edit distance, TFIDF and JaroWinkler were used to calculate the similarity weights between two datasets, one coded with the LOINC terminology standard and another not coded. Similar sets of data were classified as matches while dissimilar sets were classified as non-matching. Then soundex indexing method was used to reduce the number of potential comparisons. Thereafter, three classification algorithms were trained and tested, and the performance of each was evaluated through the ROC curve. Alternatively the second experiment was aimed at extracting patient’s smoking status information from a clinical corpus. A sequence-oriented classification algorithm called CRF was used for learning related concepts from the given clinical corpus. Hence, word embedding, random indexing, and word shape features were used for understanding the meaning in the corpus. Results Having optimized all the model’s parameters through the v-fold cross validation on a sampled training set of structured data ( ), out of 24 features, only ( 8) were selected for a classification task. RapidMiner was used to train and test all the classification algorithms. On the final run of classification process, the last contenders were SVM and the decision tree classifier. SVM yielded an accuracy of 92.5% when the and parameters were set to and . These results were obtained after more relevant features were identified, having observed that the classifiers were biased on the initial data. On the other side, unstructured data was annotated via the UIMA Ruta scripting language, then trained through the CRFSuite which comes with the CLAMP toolkit. The CRF classifier obtained an F-measure of 94.8% for “nonsmoker” class, 83.0% for “currentsmoker”, and 65.7% for “pastsmoker”. It was observed that as more relevant data was added, the performance of the classifier improved. The results show that there is a need for the use of FHIR resources for exchanging clinical data between healthcare institutions. FHIR is free, it uses: profiles to extend coding standards; RESTFul API to exchange messages; and JSON, XML and turtle for representing messages. Data could be stored as JSON format on a NoSQL database such as CouchDB, which makes it available for further post extraction exploration. Conclusion This study has provided a method for learning a clinical coding standard by a computer algorithm, then applying that learned standard to unstandardized data so that unstandardized data could be easily exchangeable, comparable and searchable and ultimately achieve data interoperability. Even though this study was applied on a limited scale, in future, the study would explore the standardization of patient’s long-lived data from multiple sources using the SHARPn open-sourced tools and data scaling platformsInformation ScienceM.
