Fuzzy rule based classifier model for evidence based clinical decision support systems
Abstract
Clinicians benefit from the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques applied to health data within health records, which identify commonalities between them. It enables them to get evidence-based support in recommending shared treatment paths for undiagnosed health records. The collective inference from these patterns, drawn from an array of health records, further enhances the capacity to mine essential features, supporting public health experts in their management of population health conditions. This paper presents a novel mapping tool model designed to analyze electronic health records and provide healthcare providers with evidence-based decision support. The work focuses on the analysis of health records from hospital databases, encompassing parameters extracted from routine health checkups. By scrutinizing patterns within examined health records, healthcare providers can seamlessly align with newer health records for diagnosis and treatment recommendations. Core to this approach is the integration of a fuzzy rule-based classifier system within the proposed system. This incorporation facilitates the processing of health records, extracting pertinent features to augment decision-making with the support of knowledge bases. The model architecture provides flexibility and customizability, enabling easy configuration of the system to accurately map new health records to the examined dataset. Additionally, the model utilizes a specially developed distance-measure technique tailored for the proposed fuzzy-based system. Results showcase satisfying performance and robust discriminant capability for accurate recommendations. The alignment of outcomes with expert evaluations underscores the model's efficacy and attainment of benchmarks.
