Artificial Neural Networks in Cancer Diagnosis Prognosis and Patient Management

Artificial Neural Networks in Cancer Diagnosis Prognosis and Patient Management

The potential value of artificial neural networks (ANN) as a predictor of malignancy has begun to receive increased recognition. Research and case studies can be found scattered throughout a multitude of journals. Artificial Neural Networks in Cancer Diagnosis Prognosis and Patient Management brings together the work of top researchers - primarily clinicians - who present the results of their state-of-the-art work with ANNs as applied to nearly all major areas of cancer for diagnosis prognosis and management of the disease. The book introduces the theory of neural networks and the method of their application in oncology. It is not an exercise in ANN research but the presentation of a new technique for diagnosing and determining the treatment of cancers. The authors have included almost all cancers for which there exist ANN applications. When the data available is ill-defined and the development of an algorithmic solution difficult neural networks provide a non-linear approach which helps sift through the maze of information and arrive at a reasonable solution. Highly interdisciplinary in nature this book provides comprehensive coverage of the most important materials relating to the applications of ANNs in the cancer field. With contributions from prominent research centers worldwide it serves as an introduction to how neural networks can be used for accurate prediction or diagnosis and shows why neural networks are more accurate. Artificial Neural Networks in Cancer Diagnosis Prognosis and Patient Management gives you an understanding of this new tool its applications and when it should be used.

Beyond EHR Using Technology to Meet Growing Demands and Deliver Better Patient Care

Beyond EHR Using Technology to Meet Growing Demands and Deliver Better Patient Care

Today it is not uncommon for practices and hospitals to be on their second or third EHR and/or contemplating a transition from the traditional on-premise model to a cloud-based system. As a follow-up to Complete Guide and Toolkit to Successful EHR Adoption (©2011 HIMSS) this book builds on the best practices of the first edition fast-forwarding to the latest innovations that are currently leveraged and adopted by providers and hospitals. We examine the role that artificial intelligence (AI) is now playing in and around EHR technology. We also address the advances in analytics and deep learning (also known as deep structured or hierarchical learning) and explain this topic in practical ways for even the most novice reader to comprehend and apply. The challenges of EHR to EHR migrations and data conversions will also be covered including the use of the unethical practice of data blocking used as a tactic by some vendors to hold data hostage. Further we explore innovations related to interoperability cloud computing cyber security and electronic patient/consumer engagement. Finally this book will deal with what to do with aging technology and databases which is an issue rarely considered in any of the early publications on healthcare technology. What is the proper way to retire a legacy system and what are the legal obligations of data archiving? Though a lot has changed since the 2011 edition many of the fundamentals remain the same and will serve as a foundation for the next generation of EHR adopters and/or those moving on to their second third fourth and beyond EHRs. | Beyond EHR Using Technology to Meet Growing Demands and Deliver Better Patient Care
