(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)The purpose of this project was to develop a secure and HIPAA-compliant EMR system in TigerPlace. Any information that is processed over the network or internet is exposed to various security threats. Malware infections ... -
Developing a model of psychiatric visit non-adherence
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Non-adherence to psychiatry visits costs the US mental health care system more than one hundred billion dollars annually. Non-adherent visits undermine improvements to patient care quality, erode patient well-being, and ... -
Genome-wide microbial phylogeny reconstruction with polytomy identification
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Evolutionary comparative genomics is one of the most studied areas in the computational biology. With ever increasing speed of newly sequenced microbial ... -
Implementation of a fuzzy rule-based decision support system for the immunohistochemical diagnosis of small B-cell lymphomas
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Integrating the massive amount of new genomic information into medical practice will require new approaches to knowledge management. This need is particularly acute in surgical pathology where the evaluation of diagnostic ... -
Prediction of clinical events in elderly using sensor data : a case study on pulse pressure
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)The primary goal of this research was to find a link between abnormal levels of daily activities, provided by a sensor monitoring system, and pulse pressure (PP), using data mining algorithms. A widened PP predicts a higher ... -
