Workshop on Data Mining for Healthcare (DMH)

Overview by Organizers

Healthcare systems around the world are struggling to keep up with patient needs, and improve quality of care while reducing costs at the same time. At the same time automation in both healthcare services, data storage and record keeping are introducing new challenges. More and more data is being captured around healthcare processes in the form of Electronic Health Records (EHR), health insurance claims, medical imaging databases, disease registries, spontaneous reporting sites, and clinical trials. Using this data in an effective way to improve quality of care and reduce costs requires innovation in data mining as well as academic, industry and government partnerships. On the system automation front, these challenges manifest themselves in the form of guarantees around healthcare system performances. Ascertaining reliability, data transmission quality and system availability have become increasingly more important as attempts are made to make remote healthcare systems as major enablers.

This workshop brings together researchers (from both academia and industry) as well as practitioners from all four different groups in the healthcare system (patients, payers, providers, and pharmaceuticals) to talk about their different perspectives and to share their latest problems and ideas; attract healthcare professionals who have access to interesting sources of data and problems but not the expertise in data mining to solve them effectively. This group would otherwise not attend KDD and we believe through our personal experiences that it is essential for KDD research community to interact with them; bring in its purview the systems components of healthcare. These aspects have so far been covered only at networking or systems venues. However, these systems have significant dependencies and reliance on the type of data that they are intended to work with; and bring in experts for a discussion on HIPAA and privacy, and how to enable data sharing for healthcare research in a HIPAA compliant environment.
