Abstract

Today medical and Healthcare industry generate loads of diverse data about patients, disease diagnosis, prognosis, management, hospitals’ resources, electronic patient health records, medical devices and etc. Using the most efficient processing and analyzing method for knowledge extraction is a key point to cost-saving in clinical decision making. Data mining, sometimes called data or knowledge discovery, is the process of analyzing data from different perspectives and summarizing it into useful information. In medicine, this process is distinct from that in other fields, because of heterogeneity and voluminosity of the data. Herein we reviewed some of published articles about application of data mining in several fields in medicine and healthcare.
