Background:

  • Analyzing patient flow is crucial for optimizing healthcare resource allocation.
  • Existing data mining tools may not adequately capture the complexities of patient pathways.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce DoMiner, a novel data mining tool for analyzing patient flows.
  • To demonstrate the application of rough set theory in healthcare data analysis.
  • To extract meaningful association rules from patient flow data.

Main Methods:

  • Developed DoMiner, a data mining tool based on rough set theory.
  • Implemented clustering algorithms for patient data.
  • Utilized rule extraction algorithms to identify association rules from database tables.

Main Results:

  • DoMiner successfully extracts association rules from patient flow data.
  • The tool provides insights into patient movement patterns across hospitals and care units.
  • An introductory analysis example demonstrates the tool's utility.

Conclusions:

  • DoMiner offers a robust method for analyzing complex patient flow data.
  • Rough set theory provides a powerful framework for extracting actionable insights from healthcare databases.
  • The tool has the potential to improve healthcare management and efficiency.
