Exploring Information Retrieval Approaches for Clinical Decision Support and Biomedical Search Tasks
Download or read book Exploring Information Retrieval Approaches for Clinical Decision Support and Biomedical Search Tasks written by Mohammad Reshood Alsulmi and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health care practitioners seek out relevant information about providing the best possible care for their patients. Relevant information to those practitioners can vary between finding potential diagnoses, suggesting related lab tests, and determining treatments for a given patient. The role of a clinical search system, relying on information retrieval (IR), is to exploit the enormous volume of publications in the biomedical literature and make them efficiently accessible to those practitioners. In this thesis, we propose to develop several approaches which can improve the effectiveness of search results produced by clinical search systems. Our approaches can help in minimizing the overhead of manual settings in current search approaches and reduce the complexity of search tasks performed by physicians. ☐ We propose to design a clinical search system that extends traditional search strategies by incorporating relevant biomedical domain resources. In our system, we will rely on some essential retrieval models (e.g., Divergence From Randomness, Pseudo-Relevance Feedback) and some text reformulation tasks that are based on domain-specific knowledge (e.g., Unified Medical Language System, Medical Subject Headings) in order to improve our search strategy. Moreover, we show that our system can be further enhanced when using simulated user models in evaluating the relevance of medical concepts appearing in clinical search queries. ☐ Lastly, we study the usefulness of adopting learning to rank (LtR) framework for clinical search tasks. We propose a methodology for evaluating several LtR models which includes relying on a diverse set of training features as well as some feature selection techniques and show how this method can lead to learning effective ranking models for clinical search.

Download or read book Enabling Health Care Decisionmaking Through Clinical Decision Support and Knowledge Management written by U. S. Department of Health and Human Services and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 790 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efforts to improve the quality and value of health care increasingly emphasize a critical role for the meaningful use of clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) and electronic knowledge management systems (KMSs). For the purpose of this review, a clinical decision support system is defined as “any electronic system designed to aid directly in clinical decisionmaking, in which characteristics of individual patients are used to generate patient-specific assessments or recommendations that are then presented to clinicians for consideration.” Examples of electronic CDSSs include alerts, reminders, order sets, drug-dosage calculations, and care-summary dashboards that provide performance feedback on quality indicators or benchmarks. In contrast, a knowledge management system is defined as a tool that selectively provides information relevant to the characteristics or circumstances of a clinical situation but which requires human interpretation for direct application to a specific patient. Examples of electronic KMSs include information retrieval tools and knowledge resources that consist of distilled primary literature on evidence-based practices. An information retrieval tool is defined as an electronic tool designed to aid clinicians in the search and retrieval of context-specific knowledge from information sources based on patient-specific information from a clinical information system to facilitate decisionmaking at the point of care of for a specific care situation. A knowledge resource is defined as an electronic resource comprising distilled primary literature that allows selection of content that is germane to a specific patient to facilitate decisionmaking at the point of care or for a specific care situation. The objective of a CDSS is to apply clinical knowledge in the context of patient-specific information to aid clinicians in the process of making decisions. Electronic KMSs can further support decisionmaking in any care situation by providing a range of strategies and resources to create, represent, and distribute knowledge for application by a human in clinical practice. As a form of health information technology, CDSSs and KMSs can serve as information tools to align clinician decisionmaking with best practice guidelines and evidence-based medical knowledge at the point of care as well as assist with information management to support clinicians' decisionmaking abilities. This evidence report is part of a three-report series focusing on the strategic goals of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's (AHRQ's) health information technology portfolio. This report specifically explores facilitating health care decisionmaking through health information technology. Supporting health care decisionmaking is a core element of the meaningful use criteria for EHRs. As the expected level of sophistication of EHRs increases in the evolving definitions of meaningful use, the need for more sophisticated CDSSs/KMSs is imperative, as is the need for better operational use of these systems. This increasing importance of CDSSs/KMSs acknowledges that EHRs alone are not an end but are instead a tool to augment the delivery of safe, evidence-based, high-quality health care through more consistent and sound decisionmaking. The goals of this report were to summarize the available evidence related to CDSSs and KMSs, highlight the limitations of the evidence, and identify areas for future research. The key questions considered in this review were: KQ 1: What evidence-based study designs have been used to determine the clinical effectiveness of electronic knowledge management and CDSSs? KQ 2: What contextual factors/features influence the effectiveness or success of electronic knowledge management and CDSSs? KQ 3: What is the impact of introducing electronic knowledge management and CDSSs? KQ 4: What generalizable knowledge can be integrated into electronic knowledge management and CDSSs to improve health care quality?
Download or read book Reinventing Clinical Decision Support written by Paul Cerrato and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-01-06 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes an in-depth look at the emerging technologies that are transforming the way clinicians manage patients, while at the same time emphasizing that the best practitioners use both artificial and human intelligence to make decisions. AI and machine learning are explored at length, with plain clinical English explanations of convolutional neural networks, back propagation, and digital image analysis. Real-world examples of how these tools are being employed are also discussed, including their value in diagnosing diabetic retinopathy, melanoma, breast cancer, cancer metastasis, and colorectal cancer, as well as in managing severe sepsis. With all the enthusiasm about AI and machine learning, it was also necessary to outline some of criticisms, obstacles, and limitations of these new tools. Among the criticisms discussed: the relative lack of hard scientific evidence supporting some of the latest algorithms and the so-called black box problem. A chapter on data analytics takes a deep dive into new ways to conduct subgroup analysis and how it’s forcing healthcare executives to rethink the way they apply the results of large clinical trials to everyday medical practice. This re-evaluation is slowly affecting the way diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and cancer are treated. The research discussed also suggests that data analytics will impact emergency medicine, medication management, and healthcare costs. An examination of the diagnostic reasoning process itself looks at how diagnostic errors are measured, what technological and cognitive errors are to blame, and what solutions are most likely to improve the process. It explores Type 1 and Type 2 reasoning methods; cognitive mistakes like availability bias, affective bias, and anchoring; and potential solutions such as the Human Diagnosis Project. Finally, the book explores the role of systems biology and precision medicine in clinical decision support and provides several case studies of how next generation AI is transforming patient care.
