DATA MINING CLUSTERING IN HEALTHCARE

The accumulating amounts of data are making traditional analysis methods impractical. Novel tools employed in Data Mining (DM) provide a useful alternative framework that addresses this problem. This research suggests a technique to identify certain patient populations. Our model examines the patient population and clusters certain groups. Those subpopulations are then classified in terms of their appropriate medical treatment. As a result, we show the value of applying a DM model to more easily identify patients
