A Semantic Web Framework to Support Knowledge Management in Chronic Disease Healthcare

چکیده
Improving quality of healthcare for people with chronic conditions requires informed and knowledgeable healthcare providers and patients. Decision support and clinical information system are two of the main components to support improving chronic care. In this paper, we describe an ongoing initiative that emphasizes the need for healthcare knowledge management to support both components. Ontology-based knowledge acquisition and modeling based on knowledge engineering approach provides an effective mechanism in capturing expert opinion in form of clinical practice guidelines. The Semantic Web framework is adopted in building a knowledge management platform that allows integration between the knowledge with patient databases and supported publications. We discuss one of the challenges, which is to apply the healthcare knowledge into existing healthcare provider environments by focusing on augmenting decision making and improving quality of patient care services.

SeDAn: a Plausible Reasoning Approach for Semantics-based Data Analytics in Healthcare
Plausible Reasoning (PR) is an inferencing mechanism to derive solutions when dealing with incomplete knowledge. When developing data-driven models for clinical decision support, the completeness of the data is always a consideration. PR provides a practical approach to extend the knowledge-base of a clinical decision support system by abstracting plausible assertions from heath data. Implement...

Due to the increasing web, there are many challenges to establish a general framework for data mining and retrieving structured data from the Web. Creating an ontology is a step towards solving this problem. The ontology raises the main entity and the concept of any data in data mining. In this paper, we tried to propose a method for applying the "meaning" of the search system, But the problem ...

متن کاملDevelopment of a Combined System Based on Data Mining and Semantic Web for the Diagnosis of Autism
Introduction: Autism is a nervous system disorder, and since there is no direct diagnosis for it, data mining can help diagnose the disease. Ontology as a backbone of the semantic web, a knowledge database with shareability and reusability, can be a confirmation of the correctness of disease diagnosis systems. This study aimed to provide a system for diagnosing autistic children with a combinat...
