In a general inpatient population, we predicted patient-specific medication orders based on structured information in the electronic health record (EHR). Data on over three million medication orders from an academic medical center were used to train ...
This study aims at developing SuperOrder, an order recommendation system for outpatient clinics. Using the electronic health record data available at midnight, SuperOrder predicts the order contents for each upcoming appointment on a daily basis. A t...
In the first part of this series, we introduced the tools of Big Data, including Not Only Standard Query Language data warehouse, natural language processing (NLP), optical character recognition (OCR), and Internet of Things (IoT). There are nuances ...
