Approaches to analysis of deviations of medical processes
The paper deals with the automated analysis of medical processes (MP), generalizing the experience of doctors in a formalized manner. The proposed approach allows to pursue a more subtle and well-reasoned analysis of the MP in order to timely identify and assess deviations of the analyzed MP from the standard treatment process and existing cases with known outcomes. To evaluate the deviation the algorithm DTW, which allows to determine the distance between a pair of processes compared with information on performing or not performing certain standard actions, is used. The treatment process is presented as a closed intelligent control system where the object is a patient and management is performed by a physician on the basis of the recommendations getting from the automated analysis of the MP.
