- Abstract
- Chronic disease is a long term disease that requires life time care. Physicians need to keep tracking patients' status over time including routine medical examinations. There are a lot of medical resources and it is inadequate for physicians to review the huge number of medical information for a chronic patient. Thus, the results from these examinations and patients need to be classified according to patients' service level agreements. In this paper, to efficiently manage chronic disease patients, we propose a patient status classification method for chronic disease care based on service level agreements. We evaluate the proposed method using data obtained from the third Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey among non-institutionalized civilians in the Republic of Korea, which was conducted by the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare in 2005. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014.
