 Monday, November 18, 2002 from 3:30 to 5:00                        
                                                                    
                                                                    
  Data Mining for Health Care Professionals (SIG/MED)               
                                                                    
                                                                    
  Through the digitization of data, health care providers can       
  collect and store voluminous numbers of documents in databases,   
  data warehouses and data repositories. However, one of the        
  challenges posed by this new information environment is how to    
  interpret meaningful knowledge from the collection of data. Data  
  mining methods yield some unique approaches to discovering        
  knowledge hidden in large databases. If used correctly, data      
  mining can provide an organization with insight to its own        
  internal intellectual assets.                                     
                                                                    
                                                                    
  You will learn about:                                             
       Recent developments in the area of data exploration          
       Key components of setting up a successful data mining        
       program

  As practitioners of medical informatics continue their attempts   
  to agree on a description of their field, a proposed consensus    
  definition is now on the table: "Medical informatics is the       
  application of information science and information technology to  
  the theoretical and practical problems of biomedical research,    
  clinical practice and medical education."
