The detection of Adverse Medical Events (AMEs) plays an important role in disease management in ensuring efficient treatment delivery and quality improvement of health services. Recently, with the rapid development of hospital information systems, a ...
Although anaesthesiologists strive to avoid hypoxemia during surgery, reliably predicting future intraoperative hypoxemia is not currently possible. Here, we report the development and testing of a machine-learning-based system that, in real time dur...
Progress in reducing diagnostic errors remains slow partly due to poorly defined methods to identify errors, high-risk situations, and adverse events. Electronic trigger (e-trigger) tools, which mine vast amounts of patient data to identify signals i...
IMPORTANCE: To improve patient safety, health care systems need reliable methods to detect adverse events in large patient populations. Events are often described in clinical notes, rather than structured data, which make them difficult to identify o...
Relation extraction between medical concepts from electronic medical records has pervasive applications as well as significance. However, previous researches utilizing machine learning algorithms judge the semantic types of medical concept pair menti...

BACKGROUND: Patients' encounters with healthcare services must undergo clinical coding. These codes are typically derived from free-text notes. Manual clinical coding is expensive, time-consuming and prone to error. Automated clinical coding systems ...
The process of discovering novel drugs to treat diseases requires a long time and high cost. It is important to understand side effects of drugs as well as their therapeutic effects, because these can seriously damage the patients due to unexpected a...
Many real-world optimization problems can be solved by using the data-driven approach only, simply because no analytic objective functions are available for evaluating candidate solutions. In this paper, we address a class of expensive data-driven co...
Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening allergic reaction that occurs suddenly after contact with an allergen. Epidemiological studies about anaphylaxis are very important in planning and evaluating new strategies that prevent this reaction, but also in pr...
OBJECTIVES: Automatic de-identification to remove protected health information (PHI) from clinical text can use a "binary" model that replaces redacted text with a generic tag (e.g., ""), or can use a "multiclass" model that retains more class i...
