Interpretation of Best Medical Coding Practices by Case-Based Reasoning - A User Assistance Prototype for Data Collection for Cancer Registries

International audienceIn the fight against cancer, cancer registries are an important tool. At the heart of these registries is the data collection and coding process. This process is ruled by complex international standards and numerous best practices, which can easily overwhelm (coding) operators. In this paper, a system assisting operators in the interpretation of best medical coding practices and a short evaluation are presented. By leveraging the arguments used by the coding experts to determine the best coding option, the proposed system answers coding questions from operators and provides a partial explanation for the proposed solution

A Deep Belief Network and Case Reasoning Based Decision Model for Emergency Rescue

The frequent occurrence of major public emergencies in China has caused significant human and economic losses. To carry out successful rescue operations in such emergencies, decisions need to be made as efficiently as possible. Using earthquakes as an example of a public emergency, this paper combines the Deep Belief Network (DBN) and Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) models to improve the case representation and case retrieval steps in the decision-making process, then designs and constructs a decision-making model. The validity of the model is then verified by an example. The results of this study can be applied to maximize the efficiency of emergency rescue decisions
