Learning the Context of a Clinical Process

On mining latent treatment patterns from electronic medical records

“…In addition, for the proposed TPM, we could incorporate additional information (such as resources of radiological examinations, quantities and costs of medications, etc) other than treatment activities and their occurring time stamps into the model to allow us to analyze treatment behaviors at a very refined level. Note that EMRs might contain fruitful information of patient features and treatment behaviors, and thus it would be promising to exploit this data to provide health-care organizations with nontrivial knowledge to understand how treatment behaviors are currently being performed on patients, and improve actual practices in alignment with clinical objectives in CPs (Peleg et al 2008;Ghattas et al 2010). -In this study, the patient conditions of the discovered treatment patterns are generated using the data collected at the admission stage of CPs.…”

Clinical Process Modeling and Performance Measurement in Hospitals

“…However, they were not designed for health care purposes and focus on more standardized processes as they are usually performed in clinical domain. An approach which helps to identify and categorize the contexts that need to be taken into account within a clinical process is proposed in [14]. The described methodology is based on a formal process model and on a collection of process execution instances.…”

Electronic Healthcare

“…The aim of our current research is to harness and mine user generated content, through data collection approaches applied to Facebook, exploring the behaviour and characteristics of two distinct user groups, young (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30) and older (50+) users, comprised of equal numbers of males and females. This study is made up in two parts; firstly we investigated user activity, defined as the posting of comments or replies to comments.…”
