Abstract:
This paper presents a pilot implementation of a semantic based system which enables physicians to semi-automatic encode hospital cases. This system, called S-Grouper, is the result of a project carried out by the University of Trento and two Italian companies: GPI S.p.A and ExpertSystem. S-Grouper is aimed to improve the codification process of the so called Diagnosis-related group by (i) implementing semantic content analysis of healthcare records, (ii) providing useful hints and coherent categories that physicians may select, (iii) comparing the codification provided by professionals with the one automatically extracted from the patients’ health care records, and (iv) improving management of knowledge.
