Development of Infection Control Surveillance System for Intensive Care Unit: Data Requirements and Guidelines

Abstract

Abstract-Surveillance systems are useful in the identification of patients that contract infections during their hospitalization period. Despite still being at in fancy, electronic information control surveillance systems for Hospital Acquired Infect ions (HAIs) are imp roving and becoming more co mmonplace as the acceptance levels rise. There are crucial gaps in existing knowledge concerning the best ways for imp lementing electronic surveillance systems especially in the context of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). To bridge this gap, the aim of this paper was to provide a comprehensive review of various electronic surveillance approaches and to highlight the requisite data components and offer guidelines. This rev iew revealed denominator, nu merator, and discrete data requirements and guidelines for the surveillance of four main ICU HAIs, including Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infection (CLABSI), Urinary Tract Infect ion (UTI), Surgical Site Infect ions (SSIs) and Ventilator-Associated Conditions/Events (VACs/VAEs).

A comparative study of classification techniques in data mining algorithms used for medical diagnosis based on DSS

“…Nonlinear proximal assistance vector machines are used in this tree-based classifier [25]. Based on synthesis analysis, Aljohani et al [26] have established a professional framework to analyse the diabetic sickness. To analyse diabetes, he created a course learning architecture.…”

Data analytics application in cognitive system, planning and decision support

“…The use of large amounts of information for critical planning must also be done with caution, as such practises are typically based on well-organized data with distinct patterns. For example, a paper by [15] studied the possible impacts that enormous volume of data has on authoritative systems. They investigated how the many characteristics of large amounts of data that provide useful information might pose challenges in the process of procedure development, which has traditionally been predicated on ordered data with a long-term motivation for defined authoritative objectives.…”
