Improved radiological diagnosis of osteoporotic vertebral fragility fractures following UK-wide interventions and re-audit-can this be maintained and translated into clinical practice?

Osteoporosis international : a journal established as result of cooperation between the European Foundation for Osteoporosis and the National Osteoporosis Foundation of the USA
UNLABELLED: To determine the potential economic, morbidity and mortality impact of improvements in reporting of vertebral fragility fractures (VFFs) following a complete audit cycle. Six percent interval increase in reporting of moderate/severe VFFs ...

A Novel Natural Language Processing Tool Improves Colonoscopy Auditing of Adenoma and Serrated Polyp Detection Rates.

Journal of gastroenterology and hepatology
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Determining adenoma detection rate (ADR) and serrated polyp detection rate (SDR) can be challenging as they usually involve manual matching of colonoscopy and histology reports. This study aimed to validate a Natural Langua...

Effectiveness and clinical impact of using deep learning for first-trimester fetal ultrasound image quality auditing.

BMC pregnancy and childbirth
BACKGROUND: Regular auditing of ultrasound images is required to maintain quality; however, manual auditing is time-consuming and can be inconsistent. We therefore aimed to develop and validate an artificial intelligence-based image quality audit (AI...

Can natural language processing be effectively applied for audit data analysis in gynaecological oncology at a UK cancer centre?

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: The British Gynaecological Cancer Society (BGCS) has highlighted the disparity of ovarian cancer outcomes in the UK compared to other European countries. Therefore, cancer quality assurance audits and subspecialty training are important i...

Applying Machine Learning Across Sites: External Validation of a Surgical Site Infection Detection Algorithm.

Journal of the American College of Surgeons
BACKGROUND: Surgical complications have tremendous consequences and costs. Complication detection is important for quality improvement, but traditional manual chart review is burdensome. Automated mechanisms are needed to make this more efficient. To...

Artificial intelligence outperforms human students in conducting neurosurgical audits.

Clinical neurology and neurosurgery
OBJECTIVES: Neurosurgical audits are an important part of improving the safety, efficiency and quality of care but require considerable resources, time, and funding. To that end, the advent of the Artificial Intelligence-based algorithms offered a no...

Auditing SNOMED CT hierarchical relations based on lexical features of concepts in non-lattice subgraphs.

Journal of biomedical informatics
OBJECTIVE: We introduce a structural-lexical approach for auditing SNOMED CT using a combination of non-lattice subgraphs of the underlying hierarchical relations and enriched lexical attributes of fully specified concept names. Our goal is to develo...

Comparison Between Manual Auditing and a Natural Language Process With Machine Learning Algorithm to Evaluate Faculty Use of Standardized Reports in Radiology.

Journal of the American College of Radiology : JACR
PURPOSE: When implementing or monitoring department-sanctioned standardized radiology reports, feedback about individual faculty performance has been shown to be a useful driver of faculty compliance. Most commonly, these data are derived from manual...

Accelerating Chart Review Using Automated Methods on Electronic Health Record Data for Postoperative Complications.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Manual Chart Review (MCR) is an important but labor-intensive task for clinical research and quality improvement. In this study, aiming to accelerate the process of extracting postoperative outcomes from medical charts, we developed an automated post...
