Clinical Pathway Generation from Hospital Information System

This paper proposes the following three-fold clinical care generation method. First, the system extracts subgrouping from clinical cases with the same Diagnostic Procedure Combination code (DPC) by mixture model clustering. Then, it constructs classification models of each subgroup by the analysis of discharge summaries. Finally, cases are classified by using the classification model and a clinical pathway is generated for each new subgroup.. The proposed method was evaluated on the datasets extracted hospital information system, whose results show that plausible clinical pathways were obtained, compared with previously introduced methods.
