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.
