Abstract Today diagnosing patients correctly and administering effective treatments have become quite a challenge. Poor clinical decisions may end to patient death and which cannot be afforded by the hospital as it loses its reputation. The cost to treat a patient with a heart problem is quite high and not affordable by every patient. To achieve a correct and cost effective treatment computer-based information and/or decision support systems can be developed to do the task. A Medical Decision Support System (MDSS) is a computer-based information system that supports medical organizational decision-making activities. MDSSs serve the management, operations, physicians, and planning levels of any medical organization (usually mid and higher management) and help to make decisions. Data Mining is one of the most important areas of research that is become increasingly common in medical organization. It plays an important role for discovering new trends in healthcare organization which in turn helpful for all the parties associated with this field. Data mining can automate the process of finding relationships and patterns in raw data and the results can be either utilized in an automated decision support system or assessed by a human analyst. The decision support systems employing data mining tools can find new and unsuspected patterns and relationships in a given set of data; the system then applies this newly discovered knowledge to a new set of data. This is most useful when a priori knowledge is limited or nonexistent. |
