A Qualitative Assessment of Machine Learning Support for Detecting Data Completeness and Accuracy Issues to Improve Data Analytics in Big Data for the Healthcare Industry (original) (raw)

Data Completeness in Healthcare: A Literature Survey

As the adoption of eHealth has made it easier to access and aggregate healthcare data, there has been growing application for clinical decisions, health services planning, and public health monitoring with daily collected data in clinical care. Reliable data quality is a precursor of the aforementioned tasks. There is a body of research on data quality in healthcare, however, a clear picture of data completeness in this field is missing. This research aims to identify and classify current research themes related to data completeness in healthcare. In addition, the paper presents problems with data completeness in the reviewed literature and identifies methods that have been adopted to address those problems. This study has reviewed 24 papers (January 2011–April 2016) published in information and computing sciences, biomedical engineering, and medicine and health sciences journals. The paper uncovers three main research themes, including design and development, evaluation, and determinants. In conclusion, this paper improves our understanding of the current state of the art of data completeness in healthcare records and indicates future research directions.

A Case Study for a Big Data and Machine Learning Platform to Improve Medical Decision Support in Population Health Management

Algorithms, 2020

Big data and artificial intelligence are currently two of the most important and trending pieces for innovation and predictive analytics in healthcare, leading the digital healthcare transformation. Keralty organization is already working on developing an intelligent big data analytic platform based on machine learning and data integration principles. We discuss how this platform is the new pillar for the organization to improve population health management, value-based care, and new upcoming challenges in healthcare. The benefits of using this new data platform for community and population health include better healthcare outcomes, improvement of clinical operations, reducing costs of care, and generation of accurate medical information. Several machine learning algorithms implemented by the authors can use the large standardized datasets integrated into the platform to improve the effectiveness of public health interventions, improving diagnosis, and clinical decision support.

Addressing Data Quality in Healthcare

2021

Data quality is an important part of information processing, but its application in practice is often underestimated. The complexity of data quality management, especially in the case of big data, makes it diffi cult to work in different areas of application. Although medical records are a signifi cant source of errors in most cases data quality assessment on medical data is partially performed. The presented data quality analysis and recommendations in this paper can help physicians and software developers to understand better data quality dimensions, identify gaps in quality assessment, and develop |own procedures and techniques that correspond to their specifi c use cases.

Effect of Machine Learning in Healthcare Industry with reference to Artificial Intelligence

International Journal of Advanced Research in Computer Engineering & Technology (IJARCET), 2019

The Healthcare industry has seen immense amount of growth in recent times. It can be either in introducing new technology to detect diseases or new and efficient ways of treating a disease. Although the developments in this field differs, one parameter can be found in common viz. data. This data in healthcare typically is heterogenous, diverse, redundant and incomplete. The rapidly growing field of bigdata analytics has helped in understanding and improving the healthcare system. This opportunity of the majority of data being present in the healthcare sector can be tapped using both prescriptive and predictive analytics. Implementation of these areas of study can give us more insights on the industry, and understand its needs. This will also aid us in improving the steps that are carried out while processing the query of a patient.

Big Data Analytics in Healthcare: Exploring the Role of Machine Learning in Predicting Patient Outcomes and Improving Healthcare Delivery

International Journal of Computations, Information and Manufacturing (IJCIM), 2023

Healthcare professionals decide wisely about personalized medicine, treatment plans, and resource allocation by utilizing big data analytics and machine learning. To guarantee that algorithmic recommendations are impartial and fair, however, ethical issues relating to prejudice and data privacy must be taken into account. Big data analytics and machine learning have a great potential to disrupt healthcare, and as these technologies continue to evolve, new opportunities to reform healthcare and enhance patient outcomes may arise. In order to investigate the patient's outcomes with empirical evidence, this research was conducted using an online survey to incorporate healthcare professionals, patient's reviews, and clinical staff. The data were analyzed using SmartPLS 4.0 to predict the structural model. The findings revealed a direct impact as positive influence of using machine learning on healthcare performance and patient outcomes through big data analytics. Moreover, it is evident that this can lead to personalized treatment plans, early interventions, and improved patient outcomes. Additionally, big data analytics can help healthcare providers optimize resource allocation, improve operational efficiency, and reduce costs. The impact of big data analytics on patient outcome and healthcare performance is expected to continue to grow, making it an important area for investment and research Contents
