Clinical decision making requires the clinician to apply accumulated knowledge to a specific amount patient information to produce a result that may be a diagnosis, prognosis, course of therapy, or the selection of further tests.
Too often, the decisions are based on limited knowledge, the information is incomplete or imperfect, and the decisions must be made during a limited period of time.

• Heuristic and analytical are used when making decision.• In the emergency case, quick action based on pattern
recognition (Type 1 process) is crucial. • Sometimes, however, it may be wrong, particularly if
other conditions aren’t evaluated and ruled out (Type 2 process).
• For instance, a patient with flank pain, nausea, vomiting, and hematuria demonstrates the “pattern” of a kidney stone (common), but may in fact have a dissecting aortic aneurysm (uncommon).

Clinical Decision Support SystemsClinical Decision Support Systems
CDSS is an interactive computer program
that are designed to provide expert support
for health professional
making decision
and improved health care.
WhatHowto Whom
Definition
Expert System (ES)• Software that emulates functions of an expert (is a type of artificial
intelligence [AI])
Decision Support System (DSS)• A tool that helps a user to reach a decision• Term is particularly applicable for complex semi-structured decisions
involving several factors– e.g., Should an automotive company introduce a new sport utility vehicle,
– What’s the competitive doing?,
– What would the design and re-tooling costs?,
– What do people want?
– How’s that vary as a function of petrol price?
• ES technology may be all or part of a DSS

What is Artificial Intelligence?What is Artificial Intelligence?
is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs.
12
Does AI aim at human-level intelligence?Does AI aim at human-level intelligence?
The ultimate effort is to make computer programs that can solve problems and achieve goals in the world as well as humans (Turing test).
13
Is AI about simulating human intelligence?Is AI about simulating human intelligence?
Sometimes but not always. AI researchers use methods that are not observed in people or that involve much more computing than people can do.
Why?
People fall out-of-date• Even if you read all the time, the medical literature is
growing too fast to keep up with
People have cognitive limits• Can’t accurately integrate large numbers of factors
People makes mistakes• Both lapses and due to ignorance
People aren’t always there• Hard (and expensive) to monitor 24/7
• Don’t always have the subspecialist you want

Data mining and knowledge discoveryData mining and knowledge discovery
data are a set of facts (for example, cases in a database),
extracting a pattern is fitting a model to data; finding structure from data; or, in general, making any high-level description of a set of data.
Manual probing of a data set is slow, expensive, and highly subjective.

MYCIN was the first CDSS to perform a significant task with performance comparable to a human expert
• Objective: identify bacteria causing severe infections, such as bacteremia and meningitis, and to recommend antibiotics, with the dosage adjusted for patient’s body weight
• PhD thesis of Shortliffe in 1970s• Never used in practice: ethical issues – what if it
made an incorrect recommendation?

de Dombal’s System (Adams et al., 1986; de Dombal et al., 1993) dealt with 16,737 patients with acute abdominal pain
• Delivered substantial evidence in 8 UK hospitals of massive savings in resources (over 8000 bed nights in two years) couple with improvement in performance (less perforated appendices, less negative laparotomy, less mortality
• Bayesian model

HELPHELP
• Health Evaluation through Logical Processing (HELP) was the first hospital information system to collect patient data needed for clinical decision-making.
• The original system was developed at the LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City (UT, USA) since 1967 at the Department of Medical Informatics at the University of Utah.
• LDS Hospital is a 520 bed private acute care hospital affiliated with a parent organization known as Intermountain Health Care (IHC).
• A key feature of the system is the electronic health record (EHR).

HELPHELP
• HELP can ‘data drive’ and use the knowledge base to make decisions from the data as it is stored.
• For example, physicians receive alerts directly using provider order entry (POE) of potential adverse drug events; drug-drug, drug-allergy, drug-laboratory, drug-disease, drug-dose, drug-diet and drug-interval.
• A serum potassium of 6.2 meq/l will trigger an elevated potassium alert to the nurse caring for that patient via a digital pager.
25
• A recent experiment in diagnostic data mining involved the electronic records of more than 32,000 Emergency Department patients.
• A Bayesian Network based approach was used to assemble a diagnostic system for community acquired pneumonia. The resulting system showed high accuracy with a specificity of 92.3% at a sensitivity of 95%.

The ‘Commandments’ (Bates et al., 2003) for effective CDSS:1. Speed is everything
2. Deliver in real time
3. Fit into the user’s workflow
4. Little things can make a big difference: ‘usability’
5. Recognize that physicians will strongly resist: ‘offer an alternative’
6. Changing direction is easier than stopping
7. Simple intervention works best
8. Ask for additional info only when you really need it
9. Monitor impact, get feedback, and respond
10.Manage and maintain you knowledge-based systems

CDSS - Success CasesCDSS - Success Cases
Alert fatigue– When clinicians are exposed to too many clinical decision
support alerts they may eventually stop responding to them.
• A threat to patient safety
– Alert fatigue is caused by poor signal-to-noise ratio because
• The alert was not serious, was irrelevant, or was shown repeatedly
– Alert fatigue can be mitigated by
• Reducing the number of alerts, prioritizing alerts, filtering superfluous alerts

Bayesian probabilistic modelBayesian probabilistic model
A Bayesian network represents domain knowledge qualitatively by the use of graphical diagrams with nodes and arrows that represent variables and the relationships among the variables.Quantitatively, the degree of dependency isexpressed by probabilistic terms.
45
BN structure and parameter (1) Human experts provide the nodes, the arcs,
and the conditional probabilities. (2) Human experts provide the causal
relationships, the network structure is designed using this information, and the parameters can be learned from data.
(3) All machine-learned: using one of the available Bayesian network structure learning algorithms, the network structure can be learned from data as well as the parameters.

Neural models of intelligence emphasize the brain's ability to adapt to the world in which it is situated by modifying the relationships between individual neurons.
Rather than representing knowledge in explicit logical sentences, they capture it implicitly, as a property of patterns of relationships.

• The artificial neural network consists of interconnected nodes that form a network with variable weights between connections.
• The relationship between the input and the output of the neuron can be described as
• where xi is a input signal, wi is the weight, y is the output, b is the threshold, and f is the activation function.

Papnet is a commercial neural network-based computer program for assisted screening
of Pap (cervical) smears.
Traditionally, Pap smear testing relies on the human eye to look for abnormal cells under a microscope. In fact, even the best laboratories can miss from 10% - 30% abnormal cases
Papnet-assisted reviews of cervical smears result in a more accurate screening process than the current practice.

A CBR system stores cases, into a case base. Each case is composed of: -description, -solution, -outcome of applying
that solution to the problem.When a new problem is encountered, the system searches its case base for the most similar past case or cases. The solution to a similar past problem forms the basis for developing a solution to the current problem.

• RFID tags are now incredible cheap and small and can be put in anything (even in pills or flesh)– Passive RFID is activated by radio energy of a ready
(active RFID unit) and responds with it’s code number (not so different from an optical bar code)
• Can greatly improve inventory tracking– E.g. on wheelchairs, surgical instruments– Can combine with other sensors – e.g. do staff [with
RFID badges] wash hands ([approach sink’s RFID reader], depress [monitored] soap dispenser) every time coming and going from bed of patient with fever [from patient’s worn temp sensor])?

A TEXTUAL DATA WAREHOUSE
There is some small amount of data in the healthcare environment that is transaction oriented and structured (payments and insurance coverage and claims).
The healthcare data warehouse consists primarily of text. The text must be integrated before being placed into the data warehouse in order for the data warehouse to make sense and be usable.
In order to execute these activities, it is necessary to have a common healthcare and medical vocabulary, ontology.
