Medication in for ma lion is one of [he most important clinical data types in electronic medical records (EMR) This study developed an NLP application (PredMED) to extract full prescriptions and their relevant components from a large corpus of unstructured ambulatory office visit clinical notes and the corresponding structured medication reconciliation (MED REC) data in the EMR. PredMED achieve...

On-line optimisation provides a means for maintaining a process around its optimum operating plant. An important component of optimisation relies in data reconciliation which is used for obtaining consistent data. On a mathematical point of view, the formulation is generally based on the assumption that the measurement errors have normally pdf with zero mean. Unfortunately, in the presence of g...

On-line optimisation provides a means for maintaining a process around its optimum operating range. An important component of optimisation relies in data reconciliation which is used for obtaining consistent data. On a mathematical point of view, the formulation is generally based on the assumption that the measurement errors have Gaussian probability density function (pdf) with zero mean. Unfo...

Objective To determine the impact of a pharmacy-led medication reconciliation program at a large community hospital. The magnitude of the benefit of pharmacy-led medication reconciliation was evaluated based on the number of medication-related discrepancies between nursing triage notes and medication histories performed by pharmacy technicians or students. Discrepancies identified by pharmacy p...

Accurate gene tree-species tree reconciliation is fundamental to inferring the evolutionary history of a gene family. However, although it has long been appreciated that population-related effects such as incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) can dramatically affect the gene tree, many of the most popular reconciliation methods consider discordance only due to gene duplication and loss (and sometime...

Upgrading Enterprise Systems (ES) is essential to supporting a system’s continuous improvement and stability. However, the decision to upgrade is influenced by different stakeholders’ needs and perceptions. This paper utilizes Rich Pictures to get a better understanding of the stakeholders’ role in the upgrade decision-making process from an organisational perspective. A qualitative survey desi...

MOTIVATION Gene duplication (D), transfer (T), loss (L) and incomplete lineage sorting (I) are crucial to the evolution of gene families and the emergence of novel functions. The history of these events can be inferred via comparison of gene and species trees, a process called reconciliation, yet current reconciliation algorithms model only a subset of these evolutionary processes. RESULTS We...
