PREDICTING CHRONIC DISEASES FROM HEALTHCARE DATA-A FRAMEWORK BASED ON GRAPH THEORY AND SOCIAL NETWORK MEASURES

by sofia | Posted on

The study illustrates a framework to predict the progression of chronic diseases from a new perspective using graph theory and social network analysis methods. The framework utilizes large and untapped longitudinal administrative data sets that contain ICD-10-AM disease codes that describe the principal and secondary diagnosis recorded during hospital admissions. The primary focus of the

DATA SCIENCE AND THE POLICY COMPLETION PROBLEM

by sofia | Posted on

Sanjay Chawla, Federico Girosi, Fei Wang “Data Science and the Policy Completion Problem” The link between policy analysis and data science is more delicate than it may appear. A new policy, by definition, will change the underlying data generating model, rendering classification or supervised learning inapplicable. Perhaps eliciting causal relations from observational data is the

SOCIAL NETWORK RESEARCH IN HEALTH COULD OPEN THE DOOR FOR SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS

by sofia | Posted on

The health industry consumes vast amounts of money and resources and is seen as a “black-hole” in many Government budgets. A ground breaking study using new science could save the industry millions and point the way for future research. Dr Shahadat Uddin CMCRC PhD Graduate Lecturer, U. Sydney Shahadat Uddin is a graduate of the

A FRAMEWORK FOR ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIM DATA TO EXPLORE HEALTHCARE COORDINATION AND COLLABORATION

by sofia | Posted on

Previous studies have documented the application of electronic health insurance claim data for health services research purposes. In addition to administrative and billing details of healthcare services, insurance data reveal important information regarding professional interactions/links that emerge among healthcare service providers through, for example, informal knowledge sharing. By utilising details of such professional interactions and

CASE-MIX BASED PEER CLUSTERING

by sofia | Posted on

We consider the problem of clustering hospitals based on their case-mix distributions. Hospitals belong to the same cluster if they offer the same mix of services and have similar demand for those services. The cluster labels can be used to control for case-mix in hospital level analyses. Methods: We obtained distributions of the 770 AR-DRGv7.0 for

AN APPROACH TO EMPOWER PATIENTS TO MANAGE DIABETES

by sofia | Posted on

Timely information and education can enhance the ability of consumers to make informed choices about their health, lifestyle and modifiable disease risk factors. Due to its unstructured and varied format, and lack of targeted delivery methods, information and knowledge does not often reach consumers, when they need it most. The aim of this project is
