Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, and the Electronic Health Record: Innovations in Mental Health Services Research.

Psychiatric services (Washington, D.C.)
An unprecedented amount of clinical information is now available via electronic health records (EHRs). These massive data sets have stimulated opportunities to adapt computational approaches to track and identify target areas for quality improvement ...

Machine learning approaches for predicting high cost high need patient expenditures in health care.

Biomedical engineering online
BACKGROUND: This paper studies the temporal consistency of health care expenditures in a large state Medicaid program. Predictive machine learning models were used to forecast the expenditures, especially for the high-cost, high-need (HCHN) patients.

A Machine Learning Approach to Identify NIH-Funded Applied Prevention Research.

American journal of preventive medicine
INTRODUCTION: To fulfill its mission, the NIH Office of Disease Prevention systematically monitors NIH investments in applied prevention research. Specifically, the Office focuses on research in humans involving primary and secondary prevention, and ...

ProvCaRe Semantic Provenance Knowledgebase: Evaluating Scientific Reproducibility of Research Studies.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Scientific reproducibility is critical for biomedical research as it enables us to advance science by building on previous results, helps ensure the success of increasingly expensive drug trials, and allows funding agencies to make informed decisions...

The term "digital health" is currently the most comprehensive term that includes all information and communication technologies in healthcare, including e-health, mobile health, telemedicine, big data, health apps and others. Digital health can be se...

Development of a Natural Language Processing Engine to Generate Bladder Cancer Pathology Data for Health Services Research.

Urology
OBJECTIVE: To take the first step toward assembling population-based cohorts of patients with bladder cancer with longitudinal pathology data, we developed and validated a natural language processing (NLP) engine that abstracts pathology data from fu...

Multilevel Weighted Support Vector Machine for Classification on Healthcare Data with Missing Values.

PloS one
This work is motivated by the needs of predictive analytics on healthcare data as represented by Electronic Medical Records. Such data is invariably problematic: noisy, with missing entries, with imbalance in classes of interests, leading to serious ...

How to build up the actionable knowledge base: the role of 'best fit' framework synthesis for studies of improvement in healthcare.

BMJ quality & safety
Increasing recognition of the role and value of theory in improvement work in healthcare offers the prospect of capitalising upon, and consolidating, actionable lessons from synthesis of improvement projects and initiatives. We propose that informed ...

Assessment of surveys for the management of hospital clinical pharmacy services.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
OBJECTIVE: Survey data sets are important sources of data, and their successful exploitation is of key importance for informed policy decision-making. We present how a survey analysis approach initially developed for customer satisfaction research in...
