Using prediction to improve elective surgery scheduling.
BACKGROUND An ageing population and higher rates of chronic disease increase the demand on health services. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare reports a 3.6% per year increase in total elective surgery admissions over the past four years.1 The newly introduced National Elective Surgery Target (NEST) stresses the need for efficiency and necessitates the development of improved planni...
متن کاملUsing Mobile Health to Improve Genetic and Heart Diseases Prediction
Introduction: Mobile personal health are a rapidly growing area of health information technology. Mobile personal health users are able to manage their own health data and communicate with doctors in order to improve healthcare quality and efficiency. In recent years, information and communication technologies improvements, along with mobile Internet, offering anywhere and anytime connectivity,...
متن کاملLength of stay following elective surgery--can we improve efficiency?
Increasing emergency admissions place significant demands on limited hospital resources. We assessed national practices and resources for initiatives to reduce length of stay (LOS) and thereby improve efficiency of resource utilisation. Consultant members of the Irish Association of Coloproctology received a questionnaire seeking information about available initiatives aimed at reducing LOS. 20...
متن کاملUsing Prediction to Improve Combinatorial Optimization Search
This paper describes a statistical approach to improving the performance of stochastic search algorithms for optimization. Given a search algorithmA, we learn to predict the outcome of A as a function of state features along a search trajectory. Predictions are made by a function approximator such as global or locally-weighted polynomial regression; training data is collected by Monte-Carlo sim...
متن کاملUsing Multiple Alignments to Improve Gene Prediction
The multiple species de novo gene prediction problem can be stated as follows: given an alignment of genomic sequences from two or more organisms, predict the location and structure of all protein-coding genes in one or more of the sequences. Here, we present a new system, N-SCAN (a.k.a. TWINSCAN 3.0), for addressing this problem. N-SCAN can model the phylogenetic relationships between the alig...
