The increasing amount and variety of domain knowledge and the availability of increasingly large quantities of electronic literature requires new types of support for the development of complex knowledge models. P. Antal et al. (2001) proposed the application of so-called annotated Bayesian networks (ABNs), which are textually-enriched probabilistic domain models that help knowledge engineers and medical experts to find and organize the information that is necessary in model-building. In this paper, we describe an information retrieval language in which the formalized domain knowledge and the attached textual information can be accessed in an integrated fashion and can be used to define various retrieval schemes and relevance measures. This language on the one hand provides maximum flexibility for knowledge engineers to exploit the available annotated domain model as contextual information. On the other hand, it allows the definition of complex, high-level queries, in which the contextual use of the annotated domain model can be optimized for clinical situations. We compare the performance of the standard and the proposed query language in the ovarian cancer domain.

We present a personalized health information generation and delivery system that leverages case-based reasoning techniques to dynamically author a personalized health information package based on an individual's current health profile. The work features a compositional adaptation approach, whereby relevant health information elements from the solution component of multiple similar past cases are carefully selected and systematically combined to yield a new personalized health information package. We have implemented a generic Java-based case-based reasoning engine that applies a novel compositional adaptation algorithm to author a HTML-based personalized health information package that can be e-mailed to users.

The interaction style used in electronic patient record (EPR) systems and its usability can have a significant impact on the acceptance, efficiency and satisfaction of its users. In this paper, we describe a study of physician interaction with a text-based EPR system and a graphical-based EPR system. The usability attributes of learnability, efficiency and satisfaction are evaluated on typical tasks, such as viewing a patient's record, documenting and ordering. The results of the study revealed that a graphical-based interface can significantly reduce the time it takes physicians to complete typical tasks in comparison with a text-based interface. The results of the study also revealed that physicians can get more satisfaction from interacting with a graphical-based EPR system than with a text-based system.

The pulse waveform plays an important role in pulse diagnosis, which is the key technique in traditional Chinese medicine. However, its baseline wander introduced in the acquisition process will result in misdiagnosis. Therefore a wavelet based cascade adaptive filter to remove this wander is presented. This cascade adaptive filter works in two stages. The first stage is a discrete Meyer wavelet filter and the second stage is the cubic spline estimation. Compared with some traditional methods, such as cubic spline estimation and linear-phase FIR least-squares error minimization digital filter, the proposed approach has better performance for removing the baseline wander of the pulse waveform.

We describe how it is possible for a group of hospitals to implement both distributed and integrated electronic patient encounters with high performance and availability. We also describe how it is possible in such a system to implement approximated ACID (atomicity, consistency, isolation and durability) properties by using the countermeasure transaction model. This is used to implement recovery, and approximated concurrency control.

Ensembles of simple Bayesian classifiers have traditionally not been in the focus of classification research partly because of the stability of a simple Bayesian classifier and because of the rarely valid basic assumption that the classification features are independent of each other, given the predicted value. As a way to try to circumvent these problems we suggest the use of an ensemble of simple Bayesian classifiers each concentrating on solving a sub-problem of the problem domain. Our experiments with the problem of separating acute appendicitis show that in this way it is possible to retain the comprehensibility and at the same time to increase the diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. The advantages of the approach include also simplicity and speed of learning, small storage space needed during the classification, speed of classification, and the possibility of incremental learning.

Dynamic evidence-based medicine (DEBM) is defined as the process of finding evidence about the care of individual patients automatically and dynamically in those cases when we cannot rely on any literature or guidelines. In this paper, we develop a framework for DEBM using data mining technologies that make it possible to automatically analyze huge clinical databases and to discover patterns behind them. We define the requirements of a data mining system for DEBM. The following functions are required of the system: (1) support for clinical decision making, and (2) discovery of rare patterns which human beings can hardly find. In order to support clinical decision making, rule discovery methods such as association rule mining are applied to this framework. We adopt a post-analysis approach using a rule base and queries. The discovered rules are collected into a rule base for further analysis. By submitting queries to the rule base, users can obtain keys to evidence for making decisions about clinical care. We preliminarily implement a prototype of a rule base and a post-analysis tool based on our framework. This tool can assist users in analyzing the discovered rules.

The spread of electronic use of data in various areas has pushed the importance of data quality to a higher level. Data quality has syntactic and semantic components; the syntactic component is relatively easy to achieve if supported by tools (either off-the-shelf or our own), while the semantic component requires more research. In many cases such data come from different sources, are distributed across enterprises and are at different quality levels. Special attention needs to be paid to data upon which critical decisions are met, such as medical data for example. The starting point for research is in our case the risk of the medical area. We focus on the semantic component of medical data quality.

The market for health care systems supporting physicians and improving their daily routine is dynamically growing. The development of these systems makes great demands on the handling of medical knowledge, like anatomical and process knowledge. In this paper, a special approach for the radiological domain is presented. Our framework includes mechanisms to store medical knowledge in different knowledge containers, whose importance varies from application to application, and to support the execution of the processes. Three applications are introduced by way of example. We analyze these application scenarios to find the knowledge-intensive tasks that can be supported by an assistant system. The implemented solutions are integrated in the daily work of our radiological partner hospitals.
