چکیده

We report on an evaluation of MAGIC, a system that automatically generates briefings of patient status after coronary bypass surgery, completed in the Cardio Thoracic Intensive Care Unit at New York Presbyterian Hospital. Through enhancements in system design, robustness and speed, we compared information obtained by nurses against two briefings, one automatically generated by MAGIC and one provided by physicians upon the patient's arrival to the ICU. Our results show that MAGIC and the physician briefing provide a substantial increase in the amount of information than is available prior to the patient's arrival and that the information MAGIC provides is accurate. In many aspects, MAGIC out-performs the physician briefing; information is reported earlier and is always available. We conclude that MAGIC provides the CT ICU staff early on with a better assessment of the patient's status than in current practice and allows them to better prepare for the patient's arrival.

MAGIC: an experimental system for generating multimedia briefings about post-bypass patient status.

We describe MAGIC, an experimental system for generating multimedia briefings about the clinical status of post-bypass patients entering a cardiac ICU. MAGIC is a distributed system whose components use knowledge-based techniques for planning and generating briefings in text, speech, and graphics. These briefings are coordinated together by reasoning with dynamically generated temporal and spat...

Research Paper: Generation and Evaluation of Intraoperative Inferences for Automated Health Care Briefings on Patient Status After Bypass Surgery

OBJECTIVE The authors present a system that scans electronic records from cardiac surgery and uses inference rules to identify and classify abnormal events (e.g., hypertension) that may occur during critical surgical points (e.g., start of bypass). This vital information is used as the content of automatically generated briefings designed by MAGIC, a multimedia system that they are developing t...
