Sharing medical data for patient path analysis with data mining method.
The Agora Data project started in October 1997 in France. The objective was to share medical data between several medical institutions to analysis medical care pathways for patients that suffer from low back pain. The analysis of the medical records decomposed in three steps allowed us to produce knowledge on medical contacts of patients with the health care system. In order to study the relations between these contacts, we created medical path of patients within the framework of the possible contacts we had isolated. This work relates the implementation and the first results of the pilot study.
