EXTRACTING CLINICAL CARE PATHWAYS CORRELATED WITH OUTCOMES

摘要

Systems and methods for data analysis include constructing patient traces as a set of medical events for each patient of a patient population, the patient population being segmented based on patient outcomes. Medical events in one or more of the patient traces are reduced to provide processed patient traces. The processed patient traces are clustered to identify a cluster of patient traces. A process model is mined, using a processor, representing an aggregation of treatment pathways in the patient traces from the cluster. Patterns from patient traces are identified that are discriminative of patient outcomes. At least one of the patterns is represented with respect to the process model to identify treatment pathways correlated with the patient outcomes.

1. A computer readable storage medium comprising a computer readable program for data analysis, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to perform the steps of:
constructing patient traces as a set of medical events for each patient of a patient population, the patient population being segmented based on patient outcomes; reducing medical events in one or more of the patient traces to provide processed patient traces; clustering the processed patient traces to identify a cluster of patient traces; mining a process model, using a processor, representing an aggregation of treatment pathways in the patient traces from the cluster; identifying patterns from patient traces that are discriminative of patient outcomes; and representing at least one of the patterns with respect to the process model to identify treatment pathways correlated with the patient outcomes.
