Abstract

We study the potential of analyzing medical protocols with data mining methods for resource planing. Background. Medical protocols can be exploited in several resource planing applications, such as optimizing occupancy of surgery rooms or scheduling teams for surgery operations. Literature has identified many variables that can be used to predict resource demand; some of them can be extracted from medical protocols. Contribution. We propose a high-level framework for knowledge discovery from medical protocols, and present a first instantiation in a German hospital. We report on the findings of this instantiation for the task of predicting surgical room occupancy time.
