Development of a discharge ontology to support postanesthesia discharge decision making
نویسندگان
چکیده
Postanesthesia discharge decision making is a challenging process due to the high complexity and variability of care provided to postoperative patients. We built an ontology-based decision support system that generates discharge recommendations for patients who have undergone surgical procedures. Discharge decisions are made based on patient vitals, symptoms, medical history and details of the surgical procedure. The output recommendations of our system can aid healthcare providers in discharge decision-making and potentially reduce readmissions due to improper discharge. This project demonstrates the potential uses of ontologies in medical decision support systems, especially in areas that use specific scoring guidelines to aid decision-making.
