Abstracting Clinical Pathway Sequence with Genetic Algorithm

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, execution sequence of clinical pathway (CP) is abstracted with genetic algorithm (GA). For the purpose, implemental sequence from historical clinical event logs for necessary clinical activities in published CP is used as the gene values of each chromosome. Through probability computation in fitness function, the optimal sequence of CP for a certain hospital is abstracted which reflecting the actual execution of CP. The application in Primary lung cancer surgery has demonstrated the feasibility of the method.
