Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS), for providing patient specific advice, can only be accepted in clinical practice if they can fit in a clinician workflow. This would require such a CDSS to have diversified support capabilities, to be mobile, and to have flexible functionality. Such a system can be designed and developed only in a modular fashion where the high level abstractions describe the logic among different system components. Ontology, which is a formal specification of shared conceptualization, can be used to create a high level abstraction. Such decoupling of abstract CDSS logic from low level implementation facilitates developing and adding new applications and increases the reusability of different system components. In this research it is argued that a developed CDSS, according to ontology driven design with the ontological model of a problem domain expanded by a clinical decision support requirements, allows the creation of a system that is aligned with clinical workflow. In this research the proposed approach is illustrated with the CDSS for triaging pediatric hip pain (HP) in the Emergency Department. This application (called MET-HP) is created within the MET (Mobile Emergency Triage) environment that implements the ontology driven design principles. MET-HP is a mobile CDSS that includes a decision model derived from the analysis of retrospective chart data and it facilitates early triage of a child using incomplete data. Keywords. Ontology; ontological model; ontology driven design; ontological engineering; clinical decision support system; data mining; knowledge model; knowledge based system.

This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2015 in the subject Computer Sciences - Artificial Intelligence, grade: -, University of Stirling (Computing Science and Mathematics), language: English, abstract: Clinical risk assessment of chronic illnesses is a challenging and complex task which requires the utilisation of standardised clinical practice guidelines and documentation procedures in order to ensure consistent and efficient patient care. Conventional cardiovascular decision support systems have significant limitations, which include the inflexibility to deal with complex clinical processes, hard-wired rigid architectures based on branching logic and the inability to deal with legacy patient data without significant software engineering work. In light of these challenges, we are proposing a novel ontology and machine learning-driven hybrid clinical decision support framework for cardiovascular preventative care. An ontology-inspired approach provides a foundation for information collection, knowledge acquisition and decision support capabilities and aims to develop context sensitive decision support solutions based on ontology engineering principles. The proposed framework incorporates an ontology-driven clinical risk assessment and recommendation system (ODCRARS) and a Machine Learning Driven Prognostic System (MLDPS), integrated as a complete system to provide a cardiovascular preventative care solution. The proposed clinical decision support framework has been developed under the close supervision of clinical domain experts from both UK and US hospitals and is capable of handling multiple cardiovascular diseases.

Download or read book Translational Biomedical Informatics written by Bairong Shen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-31 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces readers to essential methods and applications in translational biomedical informatics, which include biomedical big data, cloud computing and algorithms for understanding omics data, imaging data, electronic health records and public health data. The storage, retrieval, mining and knowledge discovery of biomedical big data will be among the key challenges for future translational research. The paradigm for precision medicine and healthcare needs to integratively analyze not only the data at the same level – e.g. different omics data at the molecular level – but also data from different levels – the molecular, cellular, tissue, clinical and public health level. This book discusses the following major aspects: the structure of cross-level data; clinical patient information and its shareability; and standardization and privacy. It offers a valuable guide for all biologists, biomedical informaticians and clinicians with an interest in Precision Medicine Informatics.

Download or read book Text and Ontology Driven Clinical Decision Support System written by Deepal Susil Dhariwal and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vast amounts of information are present in unstructured format in physicians' notes. Text processing techniques can be used to extract clinically relevant entities from such data. The extracted entities can then be mapped to concepts from medical ontologies to generate a structured Knowledge Base (KB) of patient facts. Clinical Rules written over this KB could then be used to develop systems that can help with a variety of clinical tasks such as decision support alerts in diagnostic process. We propose a generic text and ontology driven information extraction framework. In the first phase, preprocessing techniques such as section tagging, dependency parsing, gazetteer lists are used filter clinical terms from the raw data. The clinical records are parsed using Clinical Text Analysis and Knowledge Extraction System, to extract prior medical history, medications, observations, laboratory results etc. For every concept we consider its polarity, section in which the concept occurs, the associated numerical value, synonyms etc. In the second phase, a domain specific medical ontology is used to establish relation between the extracted clinical terms. The output of this phase is a KB that stores medical facts about the patient. In the final phase, an OWL reasoner and clinical rules are used to infer additional facts about patient and generate a richer KB which can then be queried for a variety of clinical tasks. To demonstrate a proof of concept, we use discharge summaries from the cardiovascular domain to determine the TIMI Risk Score and San Francisco Syncope score for a patient.

This book was released on 2020-07-29 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the advancements of semantic web, ontology has become the crucial mechanism for representing concepts in various domains. For research and dispersal of customized healthcare services, a major challenge is to efficiently retrieve and analyze individual patient data from a large volume of heterogeneous data over a long time span. This requirement demands effective ontology-based information retrieval approaches for clinical information systems so that the pertinent information can be mined from large amount of distributed data. This unique and groundbreaking book highlights the key advances in ontology-based information retrieval techniques being applied in the healthcare domain and covers the following areas: Semantic data integration in e-health care systems Keyword-based medical information retrieval Ontology-based query retrieval support for e-health implementation Ontologies as a database management system technology for medical information retrieval Information integration using contextual knowledge and ontology merging Collaborative ontology-based information indexing and retrieval in health informatics An ontology-based text mining framework for vulnerability assessment in health and social care An ontology-based multi-agent system for matchmaking patient healthcare monitoring A multi-agent system for querying heterogeneous data sources with ontologies for reducing cost of customized healthcare systems A methodology for ontology based multi agent systems development Ontology based systems for clinical systems: validity, ethics and regulation
