ABSTRACT

In order to improve medical quality, the Medical Quality Indicator System has been devoted to implementing the hospitals database system. Medical Quality Indicator is comprised of multiple sets of performance indicators for measuring different pattern care settings of the information system: Each care setting uses numerous Medical Quality Indicators for measuring quality. This study mines medical quality Indicators to assist managers in developing better medical quality and other relevant policies for a hospital. The association rules of the relational database design are implemented in the Medical Quality Indicators system which provides Medical Quality Indicators management and health policies. It provides medical manager with a useful tool to rapidly search for valuable information based on patient medical library information. Thus, it enables health managers to rapidly establish health strategies to enhance quality of medical care. In this study, Medical staffs can be based on three types of care indicators to effectively control the patient's weight. We can see the results of care from Figure 6. Three indicators are Acute Care Indicators and Psychiatric Care Indicators and Long-term Care Indicators. According to care indicators to carry out care content, Respectively, Rule 1, Rule 2, Rule 3. Rule 1 is the best to improve the patient's weight the best results. It weighs more than 60kg with 2052 patients. (2485*0.826=2052). Rule 1 is (AC Indicator 6 and PC Indicator 7 and LTC Indicator 4) ∩ (AC Indicator 15 and PC Indicator 3 and LTC Indicator 2) = (82.6%). By doing so, the health managers were no longer only acquiring and packaging knowledge, but creating and applying it as well.
