Optimization of decision support tool using medication regimens to assess rehospitalization risks.
BACKGROUND Unnecessary hospital readmissions are costly for the U.S. health care system. An automated algorithm was developed to target this problem and proven to predict elderly patients at greater risk of rehospitalization based on their medication regimens. OBJECTIVE Improve the algorithm for predicting elderly patients' risks for readmission by optimizing the sensitivity of its medication...
متن کاملClinical Decision Support System: An Effective Tool to Detect and Manage Drug-Laboratory Interactions
Lack of proper linkage between a patient’s medications and the results of laboratory tests can lead to common medication errors called drug-laboratory interactions (DLIs). DLIs are among the major types of preventable medication errors in the treatment process. Application of a clinical decision support system (CDSS) for physicians and other health care providers to decrease DLIs can effectivel...

متن کاملAn effective tool to enhance a culture of patient safety and assess the risks of medication use systems.
INTRODUCTION Adverse events involving medication use represent a significant patient safety issue in Canada. This was most recently identified through the findings of the Canadian Adverse Events Study, released in May 2004 (Baker et al.) One strategy for addressing this issue is to utilize a systems approach to patient safety rather than focusing on individual performance. Practitioners, howeve...
متن کاملSimulation optimization-based decision support tool for steel manufacturing
To buffer against increasing global competition and variability in the price of raw materials, steel manufacturers continuously strive to improve operations and lower costs. In this research, we employ a simulation optimization approach to develop a decision support tool to aid in strategic and operational decision-making. Specifically, we investigate work-in-process inventory levels and potent...
