3 jspTIN 2009, Friday Feb 20th 2009, Madrid TIN2006-15453-c04 Summary of the Project Clinical practice guidelines (CPG) reflect the best scientific evidence for clinical handling of patients with a concrete pathology. They have a direct impact in the quality and standardization of health-care but their application is below the desirable level. In order to increase their use, Care Pathways (CPs) operative versions of CPGs in a certain segment of patients and concrete healthcare context are set out. In this project we propose the use of Intelligent Systems in the processes of acquiring, formalizing, adapting, using and assessing knowledge models that describe CPs. Electronic CPs are obtained and used by intelligent agents to facilitate health-care decision making.

5 jspTIN 2009, Friday Feb 20th 2009, Madrid TIN2006-15453-c04 Objectives O1.Design and implementation of a set of tools to automate, as far as possible, the knowledge acquisition from textual CPG documents. O2.Proposal of a methodological framework to develop electronic protocols from electronic CPGs. O3.Proposal of a methodological framework to develop CPs from electronic protocols and other additional resources, such as the data stored in hospital databases. O4.New inductive learning algorithms to generate health-care knowledge from data of medical interventions stored in hospital databases, and using ontologies providing the semantics of the medical domain of the guideline. O5. Utilization of these knowledge structures or CPs for health-care decision support by means of a multi-agent system (MAS) that interprets this knowledge within the institutional context in which the medical activity is carried out. O6.Identification and evaluation of the adherence degree by health-care professionals to multi-pathology CPs resulting from the technologies integrated in the project, applied to a programme for chronic patient care.

7 jspTIN 2009, Friday Feb 20th 2009, Madrid TIN2006-15453-c04 Achievements I Knowledge-Engineering approaches based on Natural Language Processing techniques, terminologies and ontologies –Acquisition of ontology concepts from GPC documents Automated recognition of diagnosis entities Automated recognition of therapy entities Verification and validation on CHF and COPD GPCs –Automated generation of ontology relationships Automated recognition of some diagnosis relationships Automated recognition of some therapy relationships Verification and validation on CHF and COPD GPCs

8 jspTIN 2009, Friday Feb 20th 2009, Madrid TIN2006-15453-c04 Achievements II Methodologies for knowledge engineering –Analysis of alternatives to represent electronic CPGs, protocols and CPs –A CP-oriented approach to obtain protocols from CPGs –A CP-oriented approach to obtain CPs from protocols –These contemplate: Definition of reusable CP fragments Methodological guidelines to integrate electronic CP fragments using CPG tools Strategies to apply formal methods to the integration of CP fragments Knowledge acquisition of a CP for the prevention of exacerbations in stable COPD and CHF patients Development of electronic CPs that support the management of comorbidities. This is the result of 1) development of general protocols for each condition considered and 2) analysis of historical data

10 jspTIN 2009, Friday Feb 20th 2009, Madrid TIN2006-15453-c04 Achievements IV Inductive learning algorithms Data and SDA Models Data Extraction –Data available in HCB databases –Queries to extract relevant data –A complete extraction of data Data Preprocessing –Detect & correct data anomalies –Adapt data to the data model –Search & Replace techniques – Data model editor and converter – Data ready for machine learning Inductive ML Algorithm –Transform procedural data into knowledge – Two inductive ML algorithms implemented Application –Data on hypertension –Results 8% -1% type 1-2 error respect to the CPG of the Spanish Society of Hypertension

11 jspTIN 2009, Friday Feb 20th 2009, Madrid TIN2006-15453-c04 Achievements V Multi-Agent System Elaboration of a set of adherence indicators together with a mechanism to monitor them (task about to finish)

12 jspTIN 2009, Friday Feb 20th 2009, Madrid TIN2006-15453-c04 The 10 Remaining Tasks 1.Adjust the methods to recognize entities and relationships. 2.Conclude the generation of electronic CPGs. 3.The case study about obtaining CPs (stable COPD+CHF patients) 4.A methodology for the development of CPs, including the utilization of CPG tools and formal methods, and the integration of other knowledge sources 5.Finish the data pre-processing of DIA, COPD, Heart Failure. 6.Apply the inductive algorithm on DIA, COPD, Heart Failure. 7.Introduce the CPs of the project in the MAS for execution. 8.Introduce the adherence indicators in the MAS for medical assessment. 9.Pilot the developed algorithms on existing chronic programs. 10.Determine the impact of applying the developed algorithms on current processes and in the related clinical outcomes.

13 jspTIN 2009, Friday Feb 20th 2009, Madrid TIN2006-15453-c04 Conclusions Generation of actionable knowledge in healthcare –From text to knowledge it is possible to extract ontologies there are methodologies to ease knowledge engineering –From data to knowledge it is possible to induce correct from healthcare databases filtering the data can provide alterative views of healthcare processes –Making knowledge actionable on-line : formal knowledge as a way to supervise healthcare actions off-line : formal knowledge as a way to adherence analysis to standards
