Abstract:
Data mining technology can provide higher-level data analysis functions to hospital managers and offer strong technical support to the formulation of competitive strategies by the hospital. The authors identify four data mining tasks, viz. data sampling, classification, clustering and association rules and give an account of the methods frequently used in data mining. They point out that data mining technology has wide applicability in medical quality control, outpatient and emergency care control, ward control, hospital resources allocation and hospital economic management. They argue that with the wide and further application of information technology, hospital management will move to a significantly higher level.
