Obstetric care refers to the care provided to patients during ante-, intra-, and postpartum periods. Predicting length of stay (LOS) for these patients during their hospitalizations can assist healthcare organizations in allocating hospital resources...

Summarizing an Ontology: A "Big Knowledge" Coverage Approach.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Maintenance and use of a large ontology, consisting of thousands of knowledge assertions, are hampered by its scope and complexity. It is important to provide tools for summarization of ontology content in order to facilitate user "big picture" compr...

Leveraging Event Reporting Through Knowledge Support: A Knowledge-Based Approach to Promoting Patient Fall Prevention.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Patient falls are a common safety event type that impairs the healthcare quality. Strategies including solution tools and reporting systems for preventing patient falls have been developed and implemented in the U.S. However, the current strategies d...

Formalizing Evidence Type Definitions for Drug-Drug Interaction Studies to Improve Evidence Base Curation.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In this research we aim to demonstrate that an ontology-based system can categorize potential drug-drug interaction (PDDI) evidence items into complex types based on a small set of simple questions. Such a method could increase the transparency and r...

An OMOP CDM-Based Relational Database of Clinical Research Eligibility Criteria.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Eligibility criteria are important for clinical research protocols or clinical practice guidelines for determining who qualify for studies and to whom clinical evidence is applicable, but the free-text format is not amenable for computational process...

A Semi-Automatic Framework to Identify Abnormal States in EHR Narratives.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Disease ontology, defined as a causal chain of abnormal states, is believed to be a valuable knowledge base in medical information systems. Automatic mapping between electronic health records (EHR) and disease ontology is indispensable for applying d...

An Ontology-Based Approach to Estimate the Frequency of Rare Diseases in Narrative-Text Radiology Reports.

Studies in health technology and informatics
This study sought to use ontology-based knowledge to identify patients with rare diseases and to estimate the frequency of those diseases in a large database of radiology reports. Natural language processing methods were applied to 12,377,743 narrari...

Effects of Implementing a Tree Model of Diagnosis into a Bayesian Diagnostic Inference System.

Studies in health technology and informatics
To estimate a diagnostic probability similarly to experts using answers to interviews, we developed a system that fundamentally behaves as a Bayesian model. For predefined interviews, we defined the sensitivity and specificity related to one or more ...
