Provision of Decision Support Through Continuous Prediction of Recurring Clinical Actions

We propose a framework for provision of decision support through the continuous prediction of recurring targets, in particular clinical actions, which can potentially occur more than once in the patient's longitudinal clinical record. We first perform an abstraction of the patient's raw time-stamped data into intervals. Then, we partition the patient's timeline into time windows, and perform frequent temporal patterns mining in the features' window. Finally, we use the discovered patterns as features for a prediction model. We demonstrate the framework on the task of treatment prediction in the Intensive Care Unit, in the domains of Hypoglycemia, Hypokalemia and Hypotension.
