Building Evidence Graph for Clinical Decision Support
نویسندگان
چکیده
Evidence-based medicine intends to optimize clinical decision making by using evidence. Semantic query answering could help to find the most relevant evidence. However, at point of care, it still lacks time for clinicians to do literature study. In this poster, we propose to build an evidence graph for clinical decision support, in which an evidence ontology is defined with extension of SWRL rules. On top of this graph, we do evidence query and evidence fusion to generate the ranking list of decision options. Our prototype implementation of the evidence graph demonstrates its assistance to decision making, by combining a variety of knowledge-driven and data-driven decision services.

System Factors Influencing the Australian Nurses' Evidence-based Clinical Decision Making: A Systematic Review of Recent Studies
Background: There is growing attention to evidence-based practice in Australian clinical contexts and nursing literature. Recent research explores the dimensions of evidence-based practice; however, the implementation of evidence-based clinical decision making has been identified as a cumbersome process. Aim: This study aimed to review the literature syst...

Introduction: Most modern medical issues are inherently complicated and accurate decisions are not always likely to be made based on logical reasons. Furthermore, the huge volume of information relevant to a simple diagnostic area makes this decision making even more troublesome. Hence, with the advent of technology, there is an ever increasing need for the Clinical Decision Support System (CDS...

We present our tool UCliDSS, an Unsupervised Clinical Decision Support System for textual data. UCliDSS is aimed at building a retrieval engine to retrieve documents from a bio-medical data-set to provide decision support for medical professionals. In this work, we use a term co-occurrence graph (TCG) based approach augmented with Solr to build the document retrieval engine (UCliDSS). The TCG i...
متن کاملWikipedia-Based Automatic Diagnosis Prediction in Clinical Decision Support Systems
When making clinical decisions, physicians often consult biomedical literatures for reference. In this case, an effective clinical decision support system, provided with a patient’s health information, should be able to generate accurate queries and return to the physicians with useful articles. Related works in the Clinical Decision Support (CDS) track of TREC 2015 demonstrated the usefulness ...
متن کاملAccelerated decomposition techniques for large discounted Markov decision processes
Many hierarchical techniques to solve large Markov decision processes (MDPs) are based on the partition of the state space into strongly connected components (SCCs) that can be classified into some levels. In each level, smaller problems named restricted MDPs are solved, and then these partial solutions are combined to obtain the global solution. In this paper, we first propose a novel algorith...
