Predicting Hospital Re-admissions from Nursing Care Data of Hospitalized Patients [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Readmission rates in the hospitals are increasingly being used as a benchmark to determine the quality of healthcare delivery to hospitalized patients. Around three-fourths of all hospital re-admissions can be avoided, saving billions of dollars. Many hospitals have now deployed electronic health record (EHR) systems that can be used to study issues ...

Mental health at Tokanui in the early years [PDF]
, 2012 Tokanui was the first hospital to be built entirely to the villa design, and as such, its physically separate wards presented considerable opportunity for the classification and treatment of patients.

Cancers of unknown primary diagnosed during hospitalization: a population-based study [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Cancers of Unknown Primary (CUP) are the 3-4th most common causes of cancer death and recent clinical guidelines recommend that patients should be directed to a team dedicated to their care.

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) requires an accurate patient‐specific quality assurance (PSQA) program. In clinical practice, this is usually performed using the γ‐index and the two‐dimensional gamma passing rate (2D %GP). A three‐dimensional (3D) index incorporating the patient anatomy could be more useful for the 3D dose ...

Public hospital spending in England: evidence from National Health Service administrative records
, 2015 Health spending per capita in England has more than doubled since 1997, yet relatively little is known about how that spending is distributed across the population.

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose Palliative radiotherapy comprises a significant portion of the radiation treatment workload. Volumetric‐modulated arc therapy (VMAT) improves dose conformity and, in conjunction with flattening filter free (FFF) delivery, can decrease treatment times, both of which are desirable in a population with a high probability of retreatment ...

Federated Uncertainty-Aware Learning for Distributed Hospital EHR Data [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Recent works have shown that applying Machine Learning to Electronic Health Records (EHR) can strongly accelerate precision medicine. This requires developing models based on diverse EHR sources. Federated Learning (FL) has enabled predictive modeling using distributed training which lifted the need of sharing data and compromising privacy.
