This study introduces a two-stage method using computer modeling to efficiently identify patient cases of interest in hospital information systems. The approach improves the accuracy of case identification for clinical and research purposes.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Health Data Science

Background:

  • Accurate identification of patient cases in hospital information systems is crucial for clinical, research, educational, and administrative applications.
  • Traditional methods for identifying specific patient cohorts can be challenging and time-consuming.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and evaluate a novel two-stage method for efficiently searching and identifying patient cases of interest within hospital information systems.
  • To demonstrate the utility of the method in a pilot study for identifying patients with venous thrombosis.

Main Methods:

  • A two-stage approach combining Boolean searches with user-classified data.
  • Iterative computer model construction based on user feedback to refine case identification.
  • Pilot study application for identifying venous thrombosis patient records.
