Prediction of Readmissions in the German DRG System Based on ยง21 Datasets.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Hospital readmissions receive increasing interest, since they are burdensome for patients and costly for healthcare providers. For the calculation of reimbursement fees, in Germany there is the German-Diagnosis Related Groups (G-DRG) system. For ever...

Ontology-Guided Markerless Navigation and Situational Awareness for Endoscopic Surgery.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Optical navigation systems help surgeons find their way through the complex anatomy of a patient. However, such systems are accident-sensitive, time-consuming and difficult to use because of their complicated technical requirements such as the settin...

Metadata Import from RDF to i2b2.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Metadata management is an important task in medical informatics and highly affects the gain out of existing health information data. Data Warehouse solutions like Informatics for Integrating Biology and the Bedside (i2b2) are common tools for identif...

Improving Clinical Named-Entity Recognition with Transfer Learning.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Transfer learning is a powerful machine learning technique that enables the internalizing and reuse of prior knowledge to new tasks. Transfer learning is currently the starting point for recognition tasks such as computer vision. However, in natural ...

Comparative Analysis of Algorithmic Approaches for Auto-Coding with ICD-10-AM and ACHI.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Clinical coding is done using ICD-10-AM (International Classification of Diseases, version 10, Australian Modification) and ACHI (Australian Classification of Health Interventions) in acute and sub-acute hospitals in Australia for funding, insurance ...

Quro: Facilitating User Symptom Check Using a Personalised Chatbot-Oriented Dialogue System.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Automated conversational agents built with medical applications in mind, have the potential to reduce healthcare readmissions and improve accessibility to medical knowledge. In this work, we demonstrate the development and evaluation of an automated ...

Machine Learning to Identify Behavioral Determinants of Oral Health in Inner City Older Hispanic Adults.

Studies in health technology and informatics
We applied machine learning techniques to a community-based behavioral dataset to build prediction models to gain insights about minority dental health and population aging as the foundation for future interventions for urban Hispanics. Our applicati...

Evaluating the Impact of Incorrect Diabetes Coding on the Performance of Multivariable Prediction Models.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The use of electronic health records for risk prediction models requires a sufficient quality of input data to ensure patient safety. The aim of our study was to evaluate the influence of incorrect administrative diabetes coding on the performance of...

Applying Deep Learning to Understand Predictors of Tooth Mobility Among Urban Latinos.

Studies in health technology and informatics
We applied deep learning algorithms to build correlate models that predict tooth mobility in a convenience sample of urban Latinos. Our application of deep learning identified age, general health, soda consumption, flossing, financial stress, and yea...

Structural Risk Evaluation of a Deep Neural Network and a Markov Model in Extracting Medical Information from Phonocardiography.

Studies in health technology and informatics
This paper presents a method for exploring structural risk of any artificial intelligence-based method in bioinformatics, the A-Test method. This method provides a way to not only quantitate the structural risk associated with a classification method...
