  1. E-Health Patient Records Analysis By Gian Frez (el13gcf) and Matthew Hughes (ed10m2jh)

  2. E-Health Patient Records Overview • Electronic health records (EHRs) are electronic health data recorded by health care professionals, as well as patients, including: • Medical history and medication records • Daily charting, diagnosis and test results • Nursing notes and care plan • Purpose: • To increase the availability of information across healthcare systems/practices • To improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the healthcare system • To support research into new diseasesand intervention trials • NHS Connecting for Health (UK), the Personally Controlled Electronic Health Record (Australia), e-Health Exchange (USA)

  3. Case Study Data and Text Mining the Electronic Medical Record to Improve Care and to Lower Costs1 1 P. Cerrito and J.C. Cerrito, “Data and Text Mining the Electronic Medical Record to Improve Care and to Lower Costs,” in Proc. SUGI 31, 2006, paper 077-31.

  4. Data Description • Examine EHRs to determine the treatment of patients in the Emergency Department (ED) • EHRs over a 6-month period were analysed using SAS software • Data contains triage information, final outcome (patient disposition), medication and treatment time

  5. Medication Clusters • All medications for each patient were transposed and concatenated into one text string • SAS Text Miner defined clusters of medication treatments, resulting in 13 different clusters

  6. Medication Clusters

  7. Final Disposition and Medications • Relationship between final disposition and medications • Cluster 7 has the highest proportion of home discharges • Clusters 3 and 13 have a majority of patients admitted to hospital

  8. Transactional Time Series Analysis • SAS PROC HPF used to examine patient time series data • 3,300 patient visits to ED were examined over 3 months • Data accumulated by the hour and then averaged to determine changes over a 24-hour period

  9. Average Treatment Time • Average treatment time (LOS) over 24 hours:

  10. Explanation of Results • The peak in treatment time was due to an increase in the number of patient visits • Statistically significant, r2 = 74%

  11. High Performance Forecasting (HPF) • HPF to determine whether there is a regular and predictable pattern in patient treatment time (LOS) • Optimal prediction was seasonal/periodic

  12. Conclusion • EHRs can be mined and analysed to improve the healthcare system e.g. the ED • SAS Text Miner compared final disposition and medications • SAS PROC HPF used to examine patient time series data • Analyses can be extended e.g. tracking demand for other hospital services to optimise facility use, develop protocols, improve scheduling and reduce waiting time
