In this fast paced competitive world, human health is considered to be priceless. Health once lost is difficult to be recovered. Therefore a sincere attempt is made to effectively incorporate the benefits of information technology for healthcare to make the wellbeing of humans a priority.
Healthcare industry consists of humungous amount of data. A methodical procedure for analyzing, storing, processing and validating this data is necessary. Therefore to achieve this goal, major techniques like data mining and hadoop have contributed various forms to deliver applications in the area of healthcare. WEKA is a collection of machine learning algorithms that can be used for data mining tasks in healthcare. However, analyzing healthcare data using

The next step includes data preprocessing which is followed by application of analytical method on the preprocessed data. Analytical method can be either data mining or hadoop. The output pattern is then evaluated for knowledge discovery .The final output is displayed in an interface viewable by the common man. Figure illustrates the …show more content…
It is an important step of KDD process.
Figure lists the following iterative sequential steps
1. Data collection: learning the application domain. Eg: Medical and personal data
2. Data selection: creating a target data set which will be subjected to analysis. Eg: heart disease dataset from the UCI repository
3. Data pre-processing: The chosen health care datasets are pre-processed to handle problems like noise, missing and inconsistent data. This step transforms data into a form that is presentable to the data mining techniques.
4. Data mining: This involves the task of analyzing the dataset and extracting the data patterns using various data mining algorithms like classification, regression, association and clustering.
5. Pattern evaluation and knowledge discovery: A systematic determination of strictly interesting patterns representing knowledge, is done using criteria governed by a set of standards.
6. Result visualization: It is a final Phase where the knowledge discovered is represented visually to the user to help understand and interpret the
In developing a database, one of the first things one must know is how the database(DB) will be used within the organization. Seconda,y what type of data will be required to develop the database and how it will enhance productivity and reliability to the organization. All the information is gathered in the first phase of the database life cycle, which is planning. In the planning phase, you are gathering information on the need, cost and feasibility of the database within the organization. Also within this phase you would look to see if there are databases within the organization that can meet the requirements.
Sqoop: A project for transferring/importing data between relational databases and Hadoop. Oozie: An orchestration and work flow management for dependent Hadoop jobs. Figure 2 gives an overview of the Big Data analysis tools which are used for efficient and precise data analysis and management jobs. The Big Data Analysis and management setup can be understood through the layered structured defined in the figure. The data storage part is dominated by the HDFS distributed file system architecture and other architectures available are Amazon Web Service, HBase and Cloud Store etc.
Since its startup in 2005 its mission to disrupt the slow moving world of health care by providing a free service of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) to doctors and their facilities. This system will benefit doctors by cutting down cost, decrease medical errors, decrease mishandled or forgotten messages. It will help the overall goal of medical errors. It improves accuracy through record legibility and record
Among the wide range of standards available for the integration and interoperability of medical information systems is data exchange or messaging standards. The purpose is to broadly provide instructions or specifications for the structure, format, and elements for data pertaining to health related operations that involve clinical, financial and administrative data. More specifically messaging standards defines the relationship among data elements for structuring data as they are interchanged. 7.1.1 HL7. V3 - Health Level 7 Messaging Standards Version 3
This includes creating, managing and following patient data. The American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) defines information governance as “an organization wide framework for managing information throughout its lifecycle and for supporting the organization’s strategy, operations, regulatory, legal, risk, and environmental requirements.” In today’s healthcare system, it is more important than ever to know and understand how healthcare information is created, transferred and used. Due to the development of systems such as electronic health records and clinical decision support systems it is important that health information maintains its reliability and validity throughout its
The watershed “IOM Initiative on the Future of Nursing” report encompasses a four pronged approach or some might say, a challenge to the whole profession of nursing. the challenge to be better educated so that we can provide the highest quality of care to our patients, the push to encourage health care professionals to achieve higher levels of education. The initiative to have a stronger voice and presence in guiding the direction of how the health care landscape in this county. All of these factors come into play in the ever changing landscape of our health care system. Now more than ever nurse leaders have a great opportunity to have a profound impact on health care policies and decisions that will eventually decide which direction our current health care delivery system takes.
Patient demographics, medications, progress notes, vital signs, past medical history, immunizations, problems, radiology and laboratory data are amongst some of the information included in the record. Numerous errors have been eliminated due to the benefits of an Electronic Health Record system. Computerized physician order entry systems, clinical decision support system, and health information exchange have benefitted the implementation of Electronic Health Record systems, by showing reduction in costs and improving quality of care. These are the “meaningful use” criteria requirements set forth in the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009. First, a clinical decision support system provide assistance to the provider enabling him/her to make decisions.
The healthcare industry generates a great amount of data every day, as a form of record keeping, patient care, compliance, and regulatory requirements. Just a decade ago, all this data was stored in the form of hard copy form, now it is rapidly transforming to digital data which is called EMR (Electronic Medical Record). The digitalization of the healthcare has not just reduced cost of care, but also improved quality of care due to the abundance data that organizations receive from the EMR to identify the flaws in their system. I work in the healthcare industry where improving quality of care is our primary goal. We use software called eCW , which is an integrated system.
Other than utilizing it to examine patterns. The quantity of associations for the client to break down the distinctive
Introduction Since 1928, the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) has been at the forefront in improving healthcare information management. Health Information Management (HIM) is the practice of the acquirement, storage, and protection of crucial information concerning patients’ health and other personal data. Widespread computerization has introduced Electronic Health Records (EHRs), which has continued to replace the traditional paper-based records. AHIMA’s History and Mission
To exceed the understanding of the research they have gathered, they inspect the observations taken from data collected. Once they have enough information to continue to move forward they test for any patterns
Develop a search strategy that will find useful, and relevant data. Look for key words to help guide the review of the literature (Roberts, 2010). The researcher should define, set the goal, study the materials of the research, interpret the results, decide the steps, the requirements, and reach the conclusion (Roberts, 2010). The researcher must make sense to help the readers understand the information. It is important to look for the most current emerging trends of the problem then decide the research steps (Roberts, 2010).
Big Data refers to the massive amounts of structured and unstructured data that is collected over time from various internal as well as external sources. Enterprises are facing challenges in integrating these new and different types of data and also turning this data into meaningful information. The data is growing at a tremendous rate due to increase in connectedness of machines and people. Analyzing this data to extract sensible and meaningful insights is a big challenging task; integrating and optimizing this data, storing, organizing and analyzing is a challenge. The Big Data must be captured, stored, organized and analyzed to influence the decision making in any enterprise or business
The health care industry can and will benefit greatly from big data. As health care professionals look for ways to reduce disease, treat patients, and lower costs, big data will be heavily used to bridge the gaps. Doctors all around the world will be able to enter endless amounts of data and in return, big data can provide valuable statistical information on specific ailments and what factors contributed to development. Once you factor that in with a specific patient, a doctor will be able to make better decisions for the patient and possibly avoid costly medication, procedures, or even the wrong diagnosis (5 ways companies are using big data, 2014). Big data has many advantages.
Pre-processing: At this stage the dataset is prepared to apply the data mining techniques. Traditional pre-processing methods such as data cleaning, transformation of variables, and data partitioning have to be applied. 3. Data mining: Different data mining algorithms are applied to the dataset.
