The authors present a hybrid approach to assist the laborious work of coding of medical reports. The system consists of four components: an n-gram based module, a modified vector-space module, a neural module, and an XML representation of the ICD coding system. It supports the coding of clinical diagnoses to ICD.

This paper presents an environment for collecting clinical data using structured speech input. The system uses nomenclature terms and data consistency rules to limit the speech input to a discrete set of phrases which can be configured to support a wide range of studies. This information is stored in an event-oriented data model as strongly typed observations for subsequent distribution and data analysis. The use of speech input should result in increased efficiency during hands-busy data collection tasks. The strongly typed data, as opposed to free-form narratives, ensures a quantitative information base for analysis and clinical decision support.

The determination of gestational age in newborn children is fundamental to the evaluation of their survival possibilities. In many cases, when the qualified pre-natal attendance has not occurred, the post-birth evaluation of the gestational age becomes the only alternative. This paper presents a medical image retrieval system whose goal is to help to confirm a new method (called FootScan) for gestational age determination, through the digital image of the dermatoglyphics from the plantar (sole of the foot) region of the newborn. The system includes a level of knowledge, associated with the database, which stores information from the patients, together with image features and their logical relationships.

Fertility awareness or natural family planning has been used successfully since the 1930s to predict a woman's fertile days. These natural methods are based on the fact that fertilization is most likely to occur around the time of ovulation. Intercourse is avoided during those times when a woman is fertile, thus preventing conception. In this paper, we present a fertility information appliance that combines ovulation, symptom-thermal and LH (luteinizing hormone) methods. The appliance is implemented using a neurofuzzy approach. The device has other features such as PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) and TCP/IP implementation for e-mail and file transfer via a modem.

The research results presented in this paper suggest that new information and communication technology (ICT) significantly influences changes in the education of nursing professionals. The results indicate the necessity for UCNSUM (University College of Nursing Studies, University of Maribor) to develop new forms of education which include distance learning and the use of new technology. Activities in this regard should include: intensification of the awareness campaign directed towards UCNSUM and professional nursing associations; qualification of teachers for distance education; additional technological equipping of UCNSUM as a centre for distance education; preparation of UCNSUM's library for fulfilling the tasks in distance education; and preparation of a pilot project on distance education at UCNSUM in cooperation with the Distant Studies Development Centre at the University of Maribor.

The objective of this paper is the determination of the severity of respiratory distress of a patient in an intensive care unit using fuzzy set theory. The determination of the degree of respiratory distress is of extreme clinical relevance. The authors have previously (Internat. J. of Med. Informatics, vol. 63, pp. 101-107, 2001) proposed treating the problem by using the theory of fuzzy sets, and the computer implementation of this model was considered. The problem was modelled as a fuzzy multicriteria decision-making problem. In this paper, the use of fuzzy measures and of the corresponding Choquet integral are considered in order to improve the authors' previous results. The improvement is due to the fact that the application of fuzzy measures can take into account the interaction between the criteria. Results are given and the directions for possible further work are pointed out.

The imperative necessities of the contemporary era require multimedia development and they formulate a context wherein relative solutions are inaugurated. The new perspective of multimedia thought and praxis imposes a quite different and rather sophisticated point of view for existing methods in several disciplines. In regard to this, the main rule of this alternative consideration is that of unification. In this paper, we introduce a multimedia handling of medical groping (palpation). This perception leads to simultaneous transmission of audio and visual packets of information, conforming to a modified approach of 3D static "images". Images of this form may be processed using well-known methods, or new techniques could be developed. The resulting scheme enables virtual electronic palpation with several prestigious and useful first results. We may refer, for instance, to the reduction of the data burden occurring in video streams, the simplicity of the application, the multiplexing of different sources and several kinds of information. Moreover, the modified images of electronic palpation contribute to a unified approach for the conveyed information. The s-/spl eta/ (spatial-audio) domain is therefore inaugurated. Mutual aspects of signal and image processing as well as novel methods of information processing should result from this domain.

This paper describes the patient record manager and the workflow toolset of the wireless-based e-health system Ward-In-Hand, developed in a European IST (Information Society Technologies) project and currently in use within three hospital wards, in Italy, Spain and Germany. The lack of homogeneity in the healthcare organisations required a suitable implementation of workflow automation tools to create and manage the execution of the care-giving processes, customising them to local ward needs. Solutions for this problem, as well as the integration of the workflow organiser (to be used by individual health professionals during their daily activities) with the patient record manager are discussed.

For patients considering elective major surgery, information about operative mortality risks is essential for careful decision making. To help patients and surgeons make informed decisions about whether to undergo elective high-risk surgery, a reliable predictive model would be beneficial. This paper focuses on development and optimized tuning of a model predicting risks related to heart interventions of several types. The model is based oil representative data sets collected in the Merged National Registry (MNR) on Cardiovascular Interventions. The registry is operated and governed by the MEDICON Center. The central attention is paid to an instance-based reasoning model and its tuning. In particular, the paper presents and discusses benefits of utilizing a genetic algorithm with limited convergence for this purpose.

The image diagnosis area is the biggest medical field in telemedicine, because it does not obligate a direct contact of the patient with the responsible radiologist during the building of the report. The persistent lack of specialists in places distant from urban centers makes telemedicine an important tool for the improvement of healthcare services. In this paper, we present a framework, called CyclopsDistMedDB (Cyclops Distributed Medical Database), for the integration of distributed DICOM medical record databases over wide areas. The system has a central module that is responsible for receiving the clients' requests about patient data (images, waveforms), performing the querying and retrieval of images, patient records, etc. from the specific DICOM databases containing the data requested, and delivering them to the clients. The data communication protocols adopted are DICOM, for retrieval of objects directly from the DICOM data servers, and CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture), for the delivery of DICOM data to client applications.
