Journal ArticleDOI
Short-Term Forecasting of Emergency Inpatient Flow
TL;DR: It is found that emergency admissions are largely random, and hence, unpredictable, whereas emergency occupancy can be forecasted using a model combining regression and autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model, or a seasonal ARIMA model, for up to one week ahead.
Journal ArticleDOI
Myths of ideal hospital occupancy.
TL;DR: It is argued that specific study and action are necessary to understand and deal with the problems of long waiting lists and access block in any given health care facility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of High-Sensitivity Troponin I Testing with Sex-Specific Cutoffs on the Diagnosis of Acute Myocardial Infarction
Christina M Trambas,John W. Pickering,Martin Than,Christopher Bain,Lucy Nie,Eldho Paul,Eldho Paul,Anthony M. Dart,Arch Broughton,Hans G. Schneider +9 more
TL;DR: Although increasing the proportion of women with increased troponin I, adopting sex-specific cutoffs with the hs-cTnI assay did not lead to an increase in AMI diagnoses in females, or in the number of women undergoing angiography.
Journal ArticleDOI
Text mining electronic hospital records to automatically classify admissions against disease: Measuring the impact of linking data sources.
Simon Kocbek,Simon Kocbek,Simon Kocbek,Lawrence Cavedon,David Martinez,Christopher Bain,Chris Mac Manus,Gholamreza Haffari,Ingrid Zukerman,Karin Verspoor +9 more
TL;DR: A text mining system for detecting admissions marked as positive for several diseases, significantly improving performance when added to radiology reports alone or to the combination of radiology and pathology reports.

Elsa Loekito,James Bailey,Rinaldo Bellomo,Rinaldo Bellomo,Graeme K Hart,Colin Hegarty,Peter Davey,Christopher Bain,David Pilcher,Hans G. Schneider +9 more
