Process Mining for Trauma Resuscitation

IEEE Intell Inform Bull. 2017 Aug;18(1):15-19.

Abstract

We present our process mining system for analyzing the trauma resuscitation process to improve medical team performance and patient outcomes. Our system has four main parts: trauma resuscitation process model discovery, process model enhancement (or repair), process deviation analysis, and process recommendation. We developed novel algorithms to address the technical challenges for each problem. We validated our system on real-world trauma resuscitation data from the Children's National Medical Center (CNMC), a level 1 trauma center. Our results show our system's capability of supporting complex medical processes. Our approaches were also implemented in an interactive visual analytic tool.
