Privacy Issues In Data Mining

Conclusion A system developed using case-based reasoning would be able to provide more comprehensive solutions for users because it has access to knowledge acquired from a vast number of past cases. Clinicians must consider large amounts of information when searching for solutions and a case-based system is able to acknowledge the complex relationships between that data and examine how all of that information has worked when combined together before. The system would enable quick analysis and the use of knowledge acquired by many other clinicians from other healthcare

Healthcare data mining is restricted by the availability of data, because necessary inputs for data mining exist in different locations and systems such as laboratory, data banks of hospitals, clinics etc. Further, as large volume of data is involved there is a need to make a data secure and safe from being getting corrupted or inconsistent across the platforms. Moreover, doctors, physicians, healthcare executives are to be convinced about the usefulness of data mining as this is an emerging field and acceptance might take time among health care professionals. Thus, to make the data mining successful cooperation and collaboration of all stakeholders is needed. REFERENCES 1.

Managers in the health information department are in a prime spot to guide their peers to a greater level of compliance and therefore, a lesser risk of legal consquences. Per the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA): Health information management (HIM) is the practice of acquiring, analyzing, and protecting digital and traditional medical information vital to providing quality patient care. It is a combination of business, science, and information technology. (AHIMA, 2018) HIM professionals, therefore, can use many tools, such as auditing, to discover areas where compliance is lacking and in turn use targeted education to help prevent any

With a vow to do no harm, medical professionals are continually revising methods to help decrease potential harm that can be done to the patient 's that they serve. Through evidence-based research, they have inherited data that have helped them reform, change to techniques that have already been proven effective in maintaining patient health. They have gained the advantage to educate staff members that are unaware of those techniques, or need to improve their skills. IV insertion is a skill highly used in the outpatient and inpatient care setting to provide fluids and pharmacological therapy to certain patient populations. This procedure also serves as a great opportunity to presenting infection causing organisms that can be detrimental to patient’s health.

Sharing data amongst networks is sheltered through policies that unambiguously protect patient data. Protection of personal health information (PHI) is the foremost component in the healthcare industry. It is momentously obligatory to conform to the policies of

The increasing adoption of information systems in healthcare has led to a scenario where patient information security is more and more being regarded as a critical issue. Allowing patient information to be in insecure risk may lead to irreparable damage. Medical images play a crucial role in such context, given their importance in diagnosis, treatment, and research. Therefore, it is vital to take measures in order to prevent tampering and determine their source. This demands adoption of security mechanisms to assure information integrity, authenticity and confidentiality.

Attacks can result in commercial losses, disruption of operations and the possibility of extortion. Cyber-attacks may also expose an organization to regulatory action, and damages can occur from loss of trust among customers and suppliers. It is thus important to understand information security, system and cyber security so that we can take necessary steps required to protect from the ever-changing threat landscape. The purpose of this this paper is to first define and explain the

There are many complex issues regarding confidentiality and the right to privacy in the modern health care system. It is the duty of physicians, nurses, and others to maintain classified information about their patients’ private health unless they agree to disclosure. Confidentiality is important because it builds trust between patients and physicians; without trust, the practice of medicine would not be possible. A break in confidentiality infringes a person’s rights and can expose patients to discrimination from employers and insurance companies, destroy their personal relationships, and leave them feeling ashamed and embarrassed by society. Given modern technology, databases, the Internet, and growing dependence on modern technology and computers, protecting an individual’s right to privacy and keeping their records confidential has become an extreme challenge.

The Impact of Informatics on Healthcare Technology has impacted health care in ways that will allow the practicing professional to deliver the best care that is relevant to patients today. As new technology continues to emerge, and as healthcare professionals (HCP) continue to utilize the current research available, it will become safer to manage and apply advanced health care for patients today that was not available previously. Also, centralizing patient data will allow the (HCP) to see an extensive view of the patient profile that will help to deliver quality, safe and cost-effective care. Technology has an impact on the safe delivery of care. Safety has always been in the forefront in managing patient care, especially when administering

Data mining can be done on textual, quantitative or multimedia data. Data mining applications can use different kind of parameters to monitor the data. They include association (patterns where one event is related to another event), sequence or path analysis (patterns where one event leads to another event), classification (identification of new patterns with predefined targets) and clustering (grouping of identical or alike objects).Data mining involves some of the following key steps: (1) Problem definition: The first step is to discover goals. Based on the defined goal, the correct series of tools can be applied to the data to build the corresponding behavioral model. (2) Data exploration: If the value of data is not suitable for an perfect model then recommendations on future data collection and storage strategies can be made at this.
